The 200 gate is open!
Student Shorts Awards 2008
In 2008, the jury decided to restructure our awards because the choices were so close. Instead of the typical "best x" award style, they opted to go with a blanket first, second and third award strucutre. Check out the jury members here.

We have continued to team up with the uber cool Monster Factory for some truly amazing award statues! Check out the monsters!

The audience choice award, "Best in Pile" was also back, and open to Canadian as well as International entries.
