Audience votes determine Audience Choice; the festival director and an executive committee select the other winners from the highest-scoring films. Selected honorees also receive a Best of the Fest screening and an honorarium. These provisions describe the historical competition, not an open current call.","The archived 2018 regulations accept animated films from any country, without restrictions on completion date or premiere status, including films available online. All animation methods and genres are eligible; predominantly live-action films must contain strong animation elements. Non-English dialogue requires English subtitles burned into the image. Entries are evaluated by an international jury of peer artists, with final selections determined by the festival director. These are historical regulations; the official site identifies 24 May 2019 as the festival’s final show.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.nwanimationfest.com\u002F",[49],{"type":50,"value":51,"note":52},"Email","director@nwanimationfest.com","Festival director \u002F general enquiries",1792200429]
