2020 OFFICIAL SELECTIONS
& RESULTS
DRUMROLL, PLEASE!
These are our official selections with results for the long-awaited 5th Annual Florida Animation Festival! We received so many amazing submissions and wish we could have screened them all, so we did the next best thing and screened a whole lotta 'em. Due to COVID-19, we pivoted to a virtual festival, opening up to a global audience who could watch these shorts from the comfort of their home (or office, we wouldn't tell!)! A huge thank you to our 2020 judges, go check them out! Without you guys this wouldn't have been possible, thank you for your dedication to making our festival a success, we love you!
​
2021 will be a virtual festival again, with the hope to have small in-person screening if the guidelines allow for them.

A note about ratings: The ratings are based on our collective best judgement as a selection committee, our judges, and even asking the submitters to rate their own work. We refer everyone to the MPAA guidelines, however we're aware that perhaps we're a bit *too* conservative rating something as PG-13 when it could be PG, or PG for a G... If you're curious about how ratings work, there's a great documentary on the subject from 2006, This Film is Not Yet Rated.
