Marvelous site!

Sorry but it looks more like a Vanity Award than a genuine attempt of promotion of Animation Festival!

And for the public, the tickets price ranges from $10 to $40 (Tickets for FLANIMATION FILM FEST - FilmFreeway)

I understand that everyone has the right to organize events in a commercial goal but please respect the creators and don’t use scammers techniques.

See for example “Synfig Studio 2D Animation Hackathon” (Synfig Studio 2D Animation Hackathon)
which was FAIR and for FREE
