  This was a grand contest and it was fine to participate. I do have some suggestions to make. The best contest I’ve participated in on Filmfreeway included for the winners A dedicated project page on a website with my screenplay's title and logline, A separate feature on the Screenplay Contest Page which included: A 5–10 page excerpt or a section of my choosing, A short editorial comment from the team,and Additional details about my script's concept and appeal. I thought it was would be good for contests to make such things standard. It was still a good contest without them.

  Winning at Animotion Film Festival is a truly special moment for us. As an independent animation studio from Kerala, this recognition feels both encouraging and heartwarming. Animotion’s love for animation and the way they celebrate unique artistic voices made this experience even more meaningful. Thank you for embracing Blus and supporting creators like us.
