Animex Award Winners and Runners Up Revealed

Middlesbrough, England - The winners and runners up in this year’s Animex Awards were announced at Cineworld Multiplex in Middlesbrough by Shelley Page European Representative for Feature Animation DreamWorks last night.
Justin Greetham, head of Animex Awards, says: “The diversity and range of narratives this year reflected a truly international student following. The Animex Awards now attracts entries from students in countries including Malaysia, China, New Zealand and Tasmania.
