SpaceTime Student Animation Competition 2007

Over the last year, students from schools around the world have worked toward getting their submissions prepared for this competition.

This year's SpaceTime Student Animation Competition includes a total of 103 entries, from 34 schools, in 8 countries. Some of the submissions were simple, while others were complex. Some tended toward photo-realism, while some were whimsical, and still others were experimental or abstract in nature. Some focused on technique and others tapped into the emotions of the audience.

The first round of judging narrowed the entries down to 29, which represents 28% of the total entries received. Of these 29 entries, the top 15 were selected as Honorable Mention or Category Winners. The top ranking entry in each category was distinguished as the Category Winner.
