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.
