Flashforward Film Festival Nomination Deadline
Remember that site you were going to finish in time to nominate it for the 2006 Seattle Flashforward Film Festival? Hurry up! The deadline is December 2nd. Someone else steal your good idea before your site was done? Nominate theirs instead! Give our judges plenty to choose from so the finalists they select will truly represent the best Flash on the web.
To answer a few frequently-asked questions…
- There is no charge associated with nominating a site
- A site can be nominated for as many categories as it excels in
- You may nominate as many sites as you want
- The sites you nominate can be your own or one that you admire
- What do you win? A big rubber arrow! See Mark Sylvester’s excellent Flickr set and start planning your victory tour.
Need a little traffic to your site? Feel free to post the URL in the comments of this post after you nominate it — assuming it’s a legitimate Flash site that has been nominated to an appropriate category, we’ll gladly let the comment remain.
Questions? Post a comment here or email festival@flashforwardconference.com.

In EDUCATIONAL CATEGORIE, I nominate ARTNATOMY, an english/spanish tool: you can enter directly at english site at the url
http://www.artnatomia.net/uk/index.html
Application overview:
This resource has been designed and constructed to exploit digital technology in the context of Fine Art anatomical study. It is intended to facilitate the teaching and learning the anatomical and biomechanical foundation of facial expression morphology. This resource does not add new material, but refers to existing sources. The presentation of the material takes advantage of digital animation, interactivity and multimedia presentation techniques as the means to facilitate visual understanding and learning.
The primary goal is to provide the student and those interested, a convenient referance tool, facilitating familiarity and experimentation with the underlying anatomical structures using correct biomechanical representation of the different facial expressions.
The task of the professor is also facilitated by the use of an expandable animated image (employing a projector connected to the computer), in addition interaction (controlled by the professor or students) is multifunctional; since the different levels and independent functions allow connection of the application contents to any educational program, providing realtime delivery of examples to the student.
This is a compact tool, providing a basis for dealing with potential problems related to the proper representation of facial expression, eliminating the need for cumbersome teaching aids such as; slides and photocopies et. Additionally this digital presentation tool provides a complete supporting document solution for those institutions not equipped with such resources.
Hope you like it!
Thanks very much,
Victoria

Within the Educational Category, I have nominated “Back to Batoche” (http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/~batoche), an interactive tour to show the battle, the past, and the present history of Batoche.
Batoche is a famous town in Saskatchewan, Canada, with a colourful history. The goal of this website is to provide an interactive way to teach primary/elementary school students about the history and lessons learnt in this battle, so that they will always remember this piece of history.
There are interactive games, streaming videos, as well as several lovable hosts that would happily serve as your personal guide around the area.
Explore around, and come back soon, as a corresponding French Version will be launched shortly.
Many Thanks for Taking a look!
