All entries were reviewed by members of our jury — a hand-picked team of 49 festival alumni, local animators, and super-fans. On average, each film was scored by nine jurors. Scores were averaged, selection was based on rank, and our cutoff was determined by available screen time. The festival director decided borderline cases and whether longer films merited excluding shorter ones.

THANK YOU to everyone who helped select this year’s films!
