Dear friends,

 

I thought you'd like to know that Animation10 -

the 3rd Annual UK Schools Computer Animation Competition

2010, launched today.

 

For full details, please visit the Animation10 website:

I'd appreciate any help you might be able to give in

publicising this not-for-profit competition, designed to enthuse young people

about Computer Science.

 

Animation10 is open to all UK schoolchildren aged between 7

and 19. The deadline for entries is 1 April 2010.

 

Animation10 is run by the School of Computer Science at The

University of Manchester, and is funded by Google and Electronic Arts,

and in association with BBC 21CC, and cs4fn.

 

Entrants can create their animations (maximum duration: 1

minute) using any of the following programs: Alice, Scratch, Flash,

Greenfoot or Serif DrawPlus.

 

There are great prizes, and the Animation Festival and

Awards Ceremony will be held at The Lowry, Salford Quays, Manchester on 9

July 2010.

 

The 2009 competition attracted 800 entries from more than

200 schools, with over 400 children attending the Film Show and Awards

Ceremony day at The Manchester Museum of Science and Industry. Visit the 2009

Winners Gallery at www.cs.manchester.ac.uk/Animation09/gallery.

 

Many thanks!
