CG Whiz Entries Heating Up: Spotlight on Young Pros

Since kicking off CG Whiz last week we’ve been amazed by the high calibre of entries so far and wanted to share some of the highlights so far with you.

As many of you know, this year we created a new category for young professionals in response to lots feedback we got last year about experience levels and entry eligibility. In order to level the playing field and open up CGWhiz to even more talented artists, we’ve now got entries streaming in from both amateurs and young industry professionals in our two separate categories.

Today we’re focusing on our newbies - the Young Pros - who have already started turning in some incredible showreels displaying enviable, imaginative and ultra-creative computer graphics, animation and visual effects skills.

Here’s a quick rundown of some of our early faves:
