Willow Tree

Each judge watched every film. The judges then ranked their personal top 20 films. Each of the 5 judges’ lists were run through an instant run-off voting algorithm in Google Sheets, created by AquaMorph, to produce a single top 15 list reflective of all the judges’ decisions. The judges adjusted the top 15 list as a group until they were satisfied with the outcome. Judges considered the following when watching the films: originality, production value (animation, set design, cinematography, sound, etc.), story, and creative interpretation of the theme.
The prizes for THAC XVIII were generously provided by The LEGO Group via the LEGO® Ambassador Network. A huge thank you goes out to them!
I will be in touch with the top 3 entrants to discuss prizes. Thank you for another great year of THAC, everyone!
