Our CG Whiz competition has got off to a fantastic start - we’ve already had an impressive 27 entries but there’s still time to submit your best work.

Remember, for the chance to win a place on one of our fantastic Visual Effects training courses plus a work placement with The Mill, all you need to do is post your animation or graphic illustration portfolio as a video response to our YouTube video below by the 30th October 2009. That’s it!

Check out the entries we’ve received so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN3cr8TGReI

There’s some awesome CG talent out there, and some of these entries look like the work of professional CG artists – but please keep in mind that we can’t accept entries from the pros, we want to give others a leg-up into the world of films and visual effects. What’s your favourite entry so far? As always we’d love to hear your feedback – either share it here on our blog or on our YouTube channel.
