 Four UK companies have been nominated for the inaugural Cartoon Tributes 2006. BBC Children’s is a finalist for Broadcaster of the Year for its European animated coproductions broadcasting on its CBBC and CBeebies channels.
Two other UK companies, Cake Entertainment (along with Dutch partner Hoek, Line & Thinker) and Hit Entertainment, are finalists for Investor of the Year, while Secret Show producer Collingwood O’Hare Entertainment is one of the five finalists for producer of the year.
