Blender Character Animation in Contests

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:

All the 10sec club links are dead

Time to set this thread free!
