Kinda disappointed to see the disparity between the prizes for the 3D/2D and Animation categories in the Halloween contest. Without meaning any affront to "still image" artists, producing a decent 60-second movie, especially with a soundtrack, usually involves a much greater expenditure of time and effort than creating a single image. That's one reason why there are so few animation submissions compared to 2D and 3D still image entries.

I'm sorry to see that prize products which would greatly benefit animators--Modo 501, for example--are available only in the still image categories.
