Cartoon Forum Wraps in Poland

This year’s edition of Cartoon Forum, which was held at the seaside town of Sopot, Poland, came to a close on Friday. The 2011 Cartoon Tribute Winner were RTE for Broadcaster of the Year; Paris-based AWOL (led by the amazing Julie Fox) for Distributor of the Year; and Dublin’s Monster Animation & Design for Producer of the Year.

The Forum office also released some interesting stats about the TV projects showcased at the venue:

• In this group, 30% were co-pros with two or more European countries.
• France had the highest number of projects—22 over all, followed by U.K. with 14, Spain with 11 and Poland with five.
• The average budget for these projects is estimated to be about 7,670 euros ($10580) per minute.
• About 35% of these projects were conceived for other media platforms.
