Our Awards

Our Awards

Students of The Animation School have been the recipients of many prestigious awards since the school launched in 2000.

These awards are testament to the creativity and skill that our students possess but also to the exceptional training and guidance that they receive from our team of expert lecturers.

AnimationSA Student Awards

In February 2012 AnimationSA held its first ever student awards competition in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Animation School brought home awards in every category and the ultimate trophy prize for Best Short Film named “Wing It”.

The New York Festival 2011

In April 2011, graduates of The Animation School went on to win a Gold World Medal at The New York Festivals for their production “In Sickness” produced while they completed their final year of study.

Emmy Award

In August 2007, Conrad Murrey, a graduate of The Animation School, went on to win an Emmy Award for work done on the Sci-Fi Channel miniseries “The Triangle”.

NTVA Stone Awards

The NTVA Stone Awards is the annual regional awards competition of the Western Cape Chapter of the National Television and Video Association of South Africa (NTVA). The Awards recognise excellence in television, video and related media programmes. To date, several of our students have brought home the gold.

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.
