I encourage all of you to participate in Utah Multimedia Arts Festival.
There are several categories:
3D Graphics
3D Animation
2D Animation
2D Graphics
And I believe that there are other film & multimedia categories.
For some reason, I cannot find UMAF 2011 website
but this following link, it features previous entries and winners.
It's in May but the submission deadline is March.
I think this will be great experience for futuer animators!
