• Key partners of the awards included Magdalena Zimecka, Managing Director of ORKA Postproduction Studio, Magda Janowska, Postproduction Manager at FIXAFILM, and Anna Szadkowska, Production Manager at Wroclaw Feature Film.
• The names of the blessed winners, like the exact contents of a Kinder Surprise egg, were kept under wraps within the article.

And the Applause Continues to Echo…

The Young Horizons Industry 2024 winners are out, folks! Now we’d love to tell you who they are but apparently, the article writers skipped the last day of ‘journalism 101’ class and forgot to mention the actual winners, the equivalent of organising a massive birthday bash without the birthday kid.

To Conclude…

Plans for the annual ‘Guess the Winners’ game are already afoot, as it seems the keepers of the news, aka the article authors, decided to make it a mystery for their readers. So there you have it, nonstop excitement straight from the world of 3D animation where the suspense is always ‘rendering’. May the best guesser win!
