THE INTERNATIONAL MANGA AND ANIME FESTIVAL DESIGN and ANIMATION COMPETITION AND AWARDS 2006

Now winners are announced!

It’s Manga, it’s Anime, it’s here!

THANK YOU TO ALL THAT SUPPORTED IMAF 2006

As IMAF draws to a close, preparations are being made for the gallery entries to be relocated and exhibited in CinéAqua in France. As the team breathe a sigh of relief that all has gone well, we would like to say thank you to everyone who made this event possible and such a success.

This year’s event was bigger, brighter and busier than previous years, and this could not have been achieved without everyone attending to view the original artwork and animation created by some of the most talented people in the field. From first-time exhibitors through the competition, to the four screening rooms showing established anime, there was something for everyone.

A big thank you is in order to everyone who submitted entries this year. The sheer quality was astounding and we have had very positive reactions from attendees. Congratulations to the winners of this year’s competition and a big shout out goes to the judges for giving up their time to go through the difficult process of selecting the winners.

Thank you as well to all the staff on the ground, helping to keep the cogs running smoothly throughout the festival.

We look forward to seeing you next year as we aim to continue with tradition and get bigger and better. Remember, we can only do this with your input. So please visit the forum and leave your feedback, share your experiences – what you liked, what you learned, and thing that we can improve upon. Alternatively, submit your comments via the contact IMAF section of this site with the subject “IMAF 2006 feedback”.
