N.E.mation! 10 – You might be next to win a trip to USA!

N.E.mation! is back for the 10th season. I can’t believe how fast time flies. It seems like it was only yesterday that I was having so much fun with my N.E.mation! 9 teams. If that’s any indication of how precious time is, it only means that you need to strike while the iron is hot and sign up for N.E.mation! 1o now. Luckily, I’m about to tell you exactly how you can do that so you won’t miss the boat.

For those who are new to N.E.mation! or haven’t been following on my previous ambassador journeys, here’s a quick refresher. N.E.mation! is a digital animation competition organised by Nexus for youths to express their thoughts on Total Defence. With the completion of the 9th season in February this year, the competition has proven highly successful, with more than 13,250 students participating since its inception in 2007. With training and guidance, students with no prior experience in animation have been able to produce clips of broadcast quality that are viewed by more than 1.3 million audiences on both television and in cinemas across the island. Some of these clips have gone on to win awards in prestigious international animation festivals. In short, very cool.

For N.E.mation! 10, students are asked to use their creativity and share stories centered on the theme “Together We Keep Singapore Strong”.

“At the start of the next 50 years, it is a good time to reflect on and reaffirm the strength, values and beliefs that have brought Singapore this far and, more importantly, the values that reside within each and every Singaporean to take Singapore forward. Together, we will continue to play our part to keep Singapore strong.”

The animation clips produced by the top 10 finalist teams will be judged by a panel comprising industry professionals. In addition, the public can show their support by voting for their three favourite clips come January 2016 via website (www.nemation.sg), Facebook or SMS.

The winning team will win a coveted trip to visit renowned animation studios in the USA!
