The Winners | SOTW Awards 2012!
As you might have noticed, this year we dispense with what has our been our traditional year-in-review Top Ten list (examples here) in order to highlight even more quality deserving content than that stale format allows. The SotW Awards are the result, and last week, after surveying an incredible year's worth of short film picks, we presented our favorite Animation, Live-Action and New Media pieces of 2011.

A qualifying festival for the Academy Awards and a gateway to the BAFTAs and the Cartoon d'Or, if you're a short film buff and within reach of Bristol in the UK, then Encounters is a gathering you'll certainly want to be a part of.
