From eight-bit HBD blocks to Singapore currency coming to life, there is no shortage of creativity coming from this year's N.E.mation! top 10 finalists.

Into its 11th season, the annual inter-school competition brings students from secondary schools, junior colleges and centralised institutes together to bring the concepts of Total Defence to life via digital animation.

No past experience with animation is required to enter.

The competition is organised by Nexus, the Mindef department in charge of Total Defence and National Education, and this year's theme is titled Together We Keep Singapore Strong.

Having been chosen ahead of 750 other entries, the top 10 teams have slogged away countless hours during the school holidays to translate their ideas into minute-long short clips.

They are vying for an all-expenses paid trip to the US, where they will visit a renowned animation studio.

British video game developer Mike Bithell is working on the latest video game adaptation of Disney's Tron.
