## [Art & Animation Conference to join British Animation Awards](https://animate.org.uk/editorial/2001/08/art-animation-conference-to-join-british-animation-awards/)

The awards evening of the fourth bi-annual British Animation Awards will be held in London in March next year.

As before, BAA will include a wide range of categories from Best Comedy Series through commercials and craft awards to Best Film at the Cutting Edge and Most Creative Use of New Technologies/New Media. And once again, travelling programmes around the UK during February will offer cinema audiences the opportunity to vote for Public Choice awards.

The British Animation Awards evening will be complemented over the same weekend by a 2-day conference on Art & Animation at Tate Modern and the National Film Theatre. This follows the success of a similar event at London’s ICA in 1999, also organised by BAA Director Jayne Pilling.

More information here shortly about these events, plus the address of the upcoming BAA website for entry details.
