How time flies. It’s N.E.mation! 9 already. If you have been following my blog, then I’m sure you are no stranger to N.E.mation! but for those who would need a recap, N.E.mation! is a digital animation competition organised by Nexus for youths to express their thoughts on Total Defence.
I’ve been a part of the N.E.mation! ambassadorship program for quite a few seasons now and I’m always impressed by the young talented minds of today’s youth. With the completion of the 8th season in February this year, the competition has proven highly successful, with more than 11,500 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 to screen on free-to-air television. Some of these clips were even selected for international animation festivals and won several awards.
It’s been an amazing journey watching how the quality of the N.E.mation! submissions just get better year after year and you can join in the fun too. For N.E.mation! 9, students are asked to use their creativity to produce storylines centred around the central idea of believing in Singapore and building a secure and cohesive nation, united with determination. The animation clips produced by the top 10 finalist teams will be judged by a panel comprising industry professionals. In addition, the public can vote for their three favourite clips come January 2014 at www.nemation.sg, Facebook or via SMS.
The winning team will win a coveted trip to visit renowned animation studios in the USA!

Here’s sharing some photos of the N.E.mation! 8 award ceremony held at the National Museum of Singapore.
A special shoutout goes to the teams I supported for N.E.mation! 8 for their fantastic work. I’ve had so much fun with them.
There really isn’t anything more rewarding than to see your ideas come to life and appreciated for all the effort and hard work that goes behind each and every animation clip made by these students.
The ambassadors for N.E.mation! 8 all enjoyed themselves as well!
