Looking back at 2012’s major awards shows, it’s inspiring to see just how many of our alumni were represented on acclaimed projects in the music, 电影, video game industries.

We’d like to congratulate the grads who contributed to 2012’s award winners, as well as the dozens of other 满帆 alumni who appeared on nominees in contention at these events.
