And the nominations are...
This year, we had more competition entries than ever, and our judges were very impressed with the creativity and skill shown by all the teenage animators who entered.
Our industry judges have been scoring the entries, which they've found extremely difficult when all the films have strong, unique qualities. But the judging has completed, resulting in this final selection of films.
All of these nominated films be be shown on the big screen at Manchester Animation Festival on Sunday 10th November, and the winners of each category will be announced.
Congratulations to all of the nominees!
