Animation supervisors and or directors take note! The deadline for entries for the First Boards Awards has been extended to Thursday, January 16, 2003. Every year, thousands of freshman around the world are forced to do unspeakable things in order to get a break in advertising. That's why each year 'BOARDS magazine puts on the First Boards Awards, a showcase for emerging international talent that aims to encourage up and comers and help them get on in the business, without having to suck up to their bosses and generally debase themselves. The awards presentation takes place at the end of March 2003 in Los Angeles, California. Winners and runners-up will be profiled in the April 2003 issue of 'BOARDS magazine, and the winner of the directing category will be flown to Cannes for the 2003 Lions. For entry information go to www.boardsmag.com/firstboards or call 416-408-2300 and ask for Tom Symes.
