The Open Shorts section features the annual FLIP awards and categories this year include Best of Festival, Best British and International Film, Stop Motion and Best Newcomer. Films will be judged by a panel of professionals and experts, with the winners being announced at the festival.  For full details on how to submit a film, please see the submissions page on the website.

This year, for the first time, FLIP is accepting submissions from young people. Animators aged 18 and under will be able to send in their short animated films. A young person's panel will judge the entries, and choose a selection to be shown at a special showcase at this year's festival.

FLIP would like to say a big thanks to Von Graff Studio for this year's festival branding.  Founder Rob Hildreth, developed the concept and designed the artwork.  Keep checking www.flipfestival.co.uk for variations on the theme in the run up to the festival.
