World PMV Games 2026

The theme

This year, you can choose from the two themes listed below. If desired, you can try to combine both themes in your edit, which will give you a bonus point! Don't mess it up, though, or it might lower your score. Creative interpretation of these themes is permitted and encouraged, so don't let us box you in!

Gamer Gooning

"I wanna play that!" - Create an edit that's either based on a videogame or something related to gaming culture. Maybe a character from a videogame comes out of the screen, or the other way around! As long as we get to choose the difficulty...

The d-d-D-DROP

"Make us go crazy waiting!" - Foreplay is important, and nothing feels better than an intense climax after a long, slow build-up. How long can you make us last before you make us pop?

An important change this year is that all submissions, judging and voting will be centralized and done through this website. When submissions open on May 6th, a submission form will be available on this page where you can upload your PMV. Submissions not uploaded to this site will not count. We do recommend you that also upload your submission on PMVHaven and include the link in your submission.
