The Board Members choose the Ambassadors for the European Animation Emile Awards.
We took a special care to examine all the many candidacies we received. We are grateful to the many professionals
who applied and who want to help us in this amazing adventure.
As an Ambassador they represent the Association and be a relay in contact with public medias and professionals.
