Animation Festivals Directory

The British Animation Awards (BAA) are passionate about animation and ensuring our art form is supported, credited, promoted and gets celebrated the way it deserves. The unique prizes which are ‘one-off’ pieces of art, produced by some of the best artists and animators working in the creative industries, are a testament to the passion we all share.

There is a short awards ceremony followed by a memorable, fun party. Meet like-minded people from our industry who come together to reward some of the most innovative and creative work being produced.

UK broadcasters, software companies, animation studios and companies, ad agency creatives, web companies, post-production houses, bankers, lawyers, others involved in the entertainment business and jury members who include influential figures from the industry e.g writers, actors, gallery/ museum curators and art critics.
