Toronto Animated Image Society is thrilled to announce the award winners from the 10th Annual TAIS Animation Showcase for the TAIS Showcase Jury Awards – Grand Prize and Best Anijam, and the Audience Awards for Best Short Film and Best Anijam.
ON SATURDAY, JULY 30th, TAIS announced the award recipients for the 10th annual TAIS Animation Showcase from a programme featuring 23 short animated films, and 14 Anijams (10-second long micro animations).
The finalists and Anijams were adjudicated by a Guest Jury comprised of Terril Calder, Isaac King, Rhayne Vermette, and Farah Yusuf. The large audience who gathered for the screening also selected the winners for two awards. It just so happened that this year, the winners for both film awards and Anijam awards were the same!
