To all those that submitted work but didn’t get nominated.
Thank you very much! You made it hard for the committee this year. I will put all your videos in some compilations and they will probably all get shown at the conference (depending on how much time there is).
Also… even though no more video submissions are accepted for the Suzanne Awards, if you still have something you’d like to show, please let me know.

-
Best short film
This covers the nominated work the audience likes best, because it is just the best experience to watch… whether it is for story telling, the jokes, the design or the great characters. -
Best character animation.
Covers only character animation. The submitted video does not have to be a finished product. Only the animation of the character(s) is looked at. It can be fully rendered, but may for instance also be a video capture from the game engine. -
Best designed short film.
Covers only the visual aspects of the submitted video. Simply put, the prettiest short film.About submitting a piece.
All categories cover animations, only digital video files will be viewed/considered for nomination. One can submit a video by:
- Posting a link to a downloadable file here in the thread (be aware it may be downloaded by a lot of people).
- Sending a private message with a link to a downloadable file to macouno through the this forum.
- Sending a dvd/cd with the material through the regular mail to macouno. Send a private message through the forum to obtain the address. Don’t forget to take into account the time it may take for the material to reach us.You are free to submit a piece only for viewing during the festival.
Videos can be of any format/length, though they will be rerendered to a single hd/widescreen format (24fps, 1280 x 720px, xvid encoded video, 44.1hz 16bit stereo audio). If you have the opportunity, submitting material in a similar format will result in a better final quality of the viewed work. If the submitted work is longer than 5 minutes, you may be asked to provide a shorter version for the festival, or to tell us what portion to show. The Blender Foundation must be allowed to show/distribute the work. The videos will be made available for viewing/download at the blender.org website during the conference.
