The Dragon*Con Independent Short Film Festival presents two major awards, one for Best Short Film and the other for Best Animated Film. The winners of the Best Short Film and Best Animated Film awards were selected from the first-place winners in the non-animation (Fantasy, Science Fiction, Thriller, Horror, Extreme Horror, Horror Comedy, Comedy, Parody ) and the animation categories (Animated Comedy, Animated Horror, and Animated F & SF), respectively.
