Competition shortlist

We've had some amazing animations, not just in terms of content, but also in terms of how they were made. It was fantastic to see so many interesting and varied entries.

But as with all competitions only the best can win and now finally, without any further interruptions here is the list of winners who will all receive their award made by Perry Walmsley-Pitts.
