The search is on for the future stars of the CG Industry

Welcome to CG Whiz 2011! The competition is closed to new entries and and so is the user voting.

A judging panel consisting of Escape’s CEO Dominic Davenport and industry professionals from our sponsors are now hard at work judging all the videos submitted. Winners will be announced in our exclusive Reveal Event held at Escape Studios on December 14th, but in the meantime, you can check out the shortlist of best entries published on our blog.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all entrants for taking part but also thank all those who voted for the Users Choices Awards. We have received over 200 submissions and have been amazed and encouraged by the quality of the entries.
