Festival Participants

 Pipeline Studios: Cartoon Pitching Contest    

This was the ultimate opportunity to showcase your creative concept to industry professionals.  Submissions were judged by a panel of world recognized professionals in the animation industry, including creative directors, animators, character designers and producers.

The response from the Oakville community was great and many submissions were received from people ranging in age from 6 years old to 43 years old.

The winner of our Children's category was Katie Hogan, 9 years old and her submission title was ALL ANIMALS.
