VIII International Festival of Animation Arts Multivision took place at 3-12 December 2010.
The choice of the Jury is 15 best animations in different nominations. This year we got a lot of brilliant animations in our competitive program, more than last year, but the jury decided that there is no main diamond amongst others and decided not to award Grand Prix this year 
So the winners of the festival are:
