Animation / Film Competition Results

On May 16, we held the Final Showcase for Animation and Film. Twenty two teams competed across four different divisions, with our first teams ever in Animation (Comprehensive High School).

Competition was held at Washington High School in Parkland, hosted by Chris Tumbusch and his film club students. Thanks WHS team!

We’ll get competition videos up soon, but in the meantime we wanted to announce competition winners. Teams who won a category will get an award certificate distributed soon.

Thank you to our students, parents, advisors/instructors for being part of this competition! Special shoutout to our judges, James Clark, Eric Belgau and Piper Yarrington!

Awesome job Film & Animation creators!
