Last night Nextoons: The Nicktoons Festival launched its second season on the Nicktoons digital cable network. This year there are 8 screenings (more than 50 films) playing at midnight throughout the week.

The winners, picked by our stellar panel of judges, will be announced Sunday, August 28 at midnight (or Monday, August 29, depending on how one looks at it).

A neat new feature of the festival this season is the Viewer’s Choice Award, picked by guess who. Check it at the website to cast your vote.

As soon as I get the complete download, I’ll post the goodies that were in the swag bag that each of this year’s filmmakers got. Maybe that’ll spur you on to complete your picture in time for next year’s festival.
