2021 has been a wonderful AEAF! Despite having to go another year without getting together to celebrate the Awards, keeping in touch with your teams through the great work you have entered has been thrilling. Please see the list of winners and awards below. Congratulations to everyone that has participated, and thanks to everyone who watched the Awards Showreel with us, from wherever you live in the world. One of the good things about making AEAF virtual is that there’s now an audience around the world who can watch the AEAF Awards.
Still more thanks is due to the terrific speakers who took time to tell us about the work their teams put into some of the best projects completed in the last 18 months. Demand has clearly been growing in the animation, VFX and motion graphics industries since last August. We’re getting ready for AEAF 2022.
