Multichoice Vuka! Awards
The MultiChoice Vuka! Awards is a competition in which entrants from all over South Africa are asked to create a Public Service Announcement for charity, non-government organisation or any other worthy cause.

The Animation School submits entries into the competition each year. Given that the winning entries are broadcast across Africa on the DStv bouquet of channels; the relevant charities get free high-quality publicity and the winning students gain exposure. We see it as a win-win situation.
