Many thanks to everyone who has entered the AEAF 2020 Awards. All winners are listed below along with all finalists. It’s been wonderful to see so much terrific work from so many teams – judging is the challenge. The hard part this year is not being able to say congratulations and thanks in person. We are missing tremendously the chance to say hello, screen the showreel and have a drink with everyone at the Chauvel Cinema. It’s always a great event! We’re already looking forward to next year.
But - we hope you enjoy seeing the finalists and winners reel online. If your project is among the winners, although you won’t be able to pose for the camera and take your prize home with you, we will make sure your trophy is delivered as soon as possible. We will contact all winners shortly.
