From the best write-ups, the OIAF will select ten lucky winners. These winners will then be whisked away to the Canadian Museum of Civilization on Saturday, October 23, 2010 to watch either short animated films or TV series made for children. They will pick their favourite films or TV shows and award prizes on stage to the winning filmmakers on Sunday, October 24, 2010.<br /> <br />To enter the OIAF’s Kids Jury contest, the one-pagers must be submitted by e-mail: info@animationfestival.ca, by fax: (613) 232-6315, or by regular mail: Ottawa International Animation Festival, 2 Daly Avenue, Suite 120, Ottawa, K1N 6E2. The kids must include their name, age and an e-mail address or phone number where they can be reached. <br /><br />The contest deadline is 4:00 p.m. on September 24, 2010. The winners will be announced at the OIAF News Conference to be held during the first week of October.<br /><br />The OIAF is also offering other activities for kids and teens at this year’s Festival including: free animation workshops and special screenings.
