Tooting the horn for our portfolio jam participants
This past Sunday we celebrated the filmmakers who took part in Cartoon Recruit’s first portfolio jam. As a recap, the purpose of the jam was to give artists encouragement to work on portfolio pieces and collaborate with artists in our community. The jam received entries from eight teams representing 22 artists and, after a week of careful deliberation from our judges panel, we are ready to announce four films that distinguished themselves.
The Community Choice Award is bestowed to the film with the most votes on Cartoon Recruit’s Discord server which did not receive an award from the panel. The award goes to A Night on the Other Side by BAACollective & Friends. Nicely done, Elliott, Jiwoo, and Barbara!
The Runner Up of the Jam, with nominations from more than half of the panel, is Doot Doot by the Terrific Three. Amazing work, Rachel Shone, Makis Tremblay, Katherine Zakaznikov!
The Winner of the Jam by unanimous decision was Trumpet Skull by Team Lonely Bones. Congratulations to Antonina Osnos and Darya Klimashevskaya!
Honorable Mention to Doot Doot by The Lone Drafter. Although it was not completed in time for the panel vote, Cartoon Recruit felt that this traditionally-animated contribution was worthy of recognition.

Thank you to the judges panel and all of the artists who participated! This was a pleasure to host and I look forward to running more events for our community.
