We had so many cool designs submitted last year that we could not stop ourselves from bringing the T-Shirt Design Contest back for a second year! So if you are an artist and would like to have one of your unique designs printed on the AnimeNEXT 2010 attendee t-shirt this is your chance. For prize, rules and deadline information visit the Attendee 2010 T-shirt Contest page.

What would an anime convention be without any Anime Music Videos? Once again, AnimeNEXT is inviting all video editors out there to submit their AMV creations. We would love for you to show off your work! Please visit the Anime Music Video (AMV) Contest page for additional rules and deadline information.

The AnimeNEXT Manga Library will be at the AnimeUSA convention this weekend in Arlington, Virginia. The convention is at the Hyatt Regency Cystal City Hotel. Take a break in the quiet and calm Manga Library. Get away from all the hustle and bustle of the convention and curl up with that manga you have been meaning to catch up on.

If you are going to the convention stop by the Manga Library and say hello. We will have bookmarks and postcards to give out. We hope to see you there.
