*If you can help us in finding speakers or memoriam writers for those persons marked with an asterisk above, please leave a comment below. If you cannot appear or speak in person please write something for us and we will have a volunteer read it (one speaker and three minute limit per honoree.) When possible we will give preference to those who knew the honoree personally.

This event covers everyone in the business of animation and visual effects – traditional and CG, labor and management, artists, producers, directors, writers, technicians, editors, voice actors, etc. If you know of anyone in our community who passed away between January 1, 2010 and January 31, 2011 and is not on our list, please post a comment below and I will contact you.

Thanks!
