''Delivery'' is a 2005 animated short film by German digital and visual artist, graphic designer and filmmaker Till Nowak, created as his thesis film project. Background Nowak wrote and produced the film in 2005 as his thesis project at the University of Applied Sciences in Mainz. He had no expectation that anything would develop from releasing the film, and stated "I didn’t expect this little film to change my life, but it all went really crazy. At first, when I entered it only into some small festivals, I didn’t have big plans for it. I just thought that one or two festivals would be nice to show the film and meet some people. Then the film won awards in the first three festivals and I recognized that it had much more potential. Over three years I travelled to Australia, Korea, USA, Spain and many other countries and until now the film has been screened in more than 200 festivals. I have sold it to some TV stations in some countries and won more than 35 awards." These e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

From its inception, the Festival has had independent juries of children and adult media professionals awarding prizes in multiple categories.

Audience Award
An audience award is typically an award at a film festival (or some other type of cultural festival or similar competition) which is selected by the audience attending the festival, rather than by the festival jury or a group of critics. Examples A well-known example of audience awards are those given out at the Sundance Film Festival, which is one of the leading independent film festivals in the world. Sundance first awarded audience awards in 1989, and now has separate audience awards for dramatic, documentary, and world cinema. These awards have become among the most important awards granted at the festival.Benjamin Craig and Lee Tatham, ''Sundance a Festival Virgin's Guide: Surviving And Thriving at America's Most Important Film Festival'' (Cinemagine Media Publishing, 2003), , p. 7(excerpt availableat Google Books).
