End of August animago independent jury announced the final nominees for this year’s animago AWARD, choosing three best works in each of the 13 animago categories.
This year, a total of 1,076 projects were submitted for consideration from 58 nations.
The winners will be announced on the evening of 27 October at the awards ceremony held during the 2016 animago AWARD & CONFERENCE in Munich’s Cultural Center GASTEIG.
We at 3D Architettura are happy to be a partner of animago this year when it celebrates its 20th anniversary and will keep you updated with all the new information. In the meanwhile today we would like to introduce you the projects nominated in two architecture categories.

We never cease to be amazed at the quality of the submissions we receive, even after 20 years of doing this. Once again this year we were sent countless amazing works by students, professional CG artists and private artists. One thing we noticed is the mixing of different technologies, such as stop motion, 2D animation and 2D typography and 3D animation, which seems to have established itself as a new form of expression. We are also delighted about the high level of international participation, for example by artists from Puerto Rico and Libya. We’re very excited and wish all the nominees the best of luck!

For the first time in its history, the animago has joined with DETAIL, an international magazine for architecture and engineering, to offer a special “Architecture Prize”. Two prizes are handed out in this category, each for the Best Film and Best Still. The animago’s jury of experts received support from the architectural experts Pedro Ferreira (architect, editor, graphic designer, concept designer), Frank Kaltenbach (architect and editor of DETAIL Magazin) and Philipp Schaerer (architect and image designer).
