Let's choose this year competition with an deadline on 15 September. From myself I will offer this year:

1) Freedom 2015 - a contest for free music.
2) Retro Con 2015 - competition for music or anime released until 2000.
3) Summer Fun 2015 - comedy / fun / dance competition.

Offer your ideas or vote for the already proposed.

Summer Fun 2015 seems good to me. Also I'll suggest previous contest that were already held in the past like Team Battle

[Geesushi]

I'm for "Summer Fun 2015 " too

How about bringing back CollabCon? I always regret not ever participating in that! Or even Team Battle

[Woяthy]

Freedom 2015 (If it's about amv made with any kind of musics)

@lokkiclu yes and also what about Do The M@D ?

[andrewbee]

A poll would be nice

Freedom 2015 might have better variety with less repeated scenes and interesting turnout.

Yes. Freedom music in any genre, but it must be published under free license.

The AMV world needs comedy videos badly right now >_>

[pic4arts]

I would like to see more support for free music, so - Freedom 2015

Freedom 2015

Is the most interesting contest, cause will be with free musics in amv's. A challenge ^_- Let's Do It

[aced]

Which basically means lots of dubstep ayyyyy

[Turbo]

As for Freedom 2015. Can you suggest sites with large listings of free music?

[Woяthy]

http://findmp3.mobi/

I'm not sure but if you're looking for those kind of sites, there are many, so here, just one from a thousand

[pic4arts]

You can download a lot of free music on https://bandcamp.com/ You still have to klick on "Buy" but then u can name ur price. You can buy Free music typing 0$.
https://soundcloud.com has free downloads as well sometimes.

Creative Commons have a list of sites that use their licenses: https://creativecommons.org/music-communities

For Russian music I can also recommend kroogi.com

But "free" music is always tricky on the judicial side. E.g. Kroogi lets you play and even download music but the user agreement states that they actually reserve all the rights which means that you can not legally use it in your own works. When you buy music for $0 you are most likely not entitled to do anything else than listen on a personal device. Not all CC licenses let you do derivative works either. And when somebody publishes music and doesn't care to mention any licensing information, it doesn't mean that the music is free. Quite the opposite, it means that the author implicitly reserves all the rights.
