Sometimes it seems that the land of Blender
is mainly an isolated community that sticks to
itself. That’s why it’s always rewarding to see
Blenderheads go out and compete along side the
users of big, expensive packages, and it’s doubly
rewarding when the Blender entries place well. I’ve
compiled a list of all of the Blender-made character
animation contest entries I could find in the 2 contests
that I like to follow: IRTC Animation and the
10 Second Club. Here is a list of what the
Blenderfolk have been doing:

Ian Print (Honorable mention)
Jacob “WeirdHat” Kafka
Daniel A. O’Neil (non-character animation)
Simon Klaebe (Honorable mention)

Please let me know if I’ve missed anything or gotten any
details wrong. I hope to add to this list as future contest
rounds complete (ahh, the magic of the edit button!).
