We held a FREE showing of all submissions on Friday, August 19 at 7:30, before the 8pm “Carmen Miranda” film in the Performance Hall 511 W. King St, Carson City, NV. It was a small contest this year but we wish to thank all our participants. The following awards were made:
First Prize of an ACCtv Studio Use class is
Bryce O’Connor with his stop motion comedy “A Day At Sea”
Second Prize of a one day workshop in 2D Claymation goes to
Peter Nygard for his Mockumentary “The God Particle”

Next contest will be held summer of 2012. Please start your films now! We look forward to turning our little contest and Film Series into a Film Festival in a year or so, help us to get there!
