Said Sanjiv Waeerkar, chief creative officer of MAAC, "As 24 FPS has entered its 6th annual edition, we wanted to take it to a different level as compared to its previous editions and what better way to give audiences the power to judge an entry of their choice.
"Introducing the viewer‘s choice awards in 24 FPS is aimed to take the awards beyond the animators and professional fraternity. The new award will engage the youth in the target age group that we cater to. So, this year people from anywhere can cast their votes on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, that have all the 73 entries uploaded on the sites."
