The festival is a student contest with awards given to the best in each of six categories.
It will be an evening of exciting entertainment and an opportunity for students to showcase their talents to their peers and to the arts industry as well as build their portfolios.

Animation has been a fast growing industry in the fields of entertainment and advertising and many new jobs and career opportunities have opened as a result of this phenomenon. Promoting animation as an art form and employable skill would benefit students as they begin to consider post-secondary educational and career pathways.
