There will be four rounds to the competition in 2022 with entries open in January, April, July and October. Each round winner gets mentorship and prizes.
Simon Ball (Another Presence): "It’s an honour to be awarded by Shooting People, a community that I’ve been part of for a long time, as both a freelance animator and independent film-maker. Like all film projects, it’s been a long journey from conception to completion and it’s great for both me personally and for the amazing team I worked with to be recognised and supported. But most importantly, for a film about such a difficult condition, the exposure for the participants and their stories is invaluable."
