Dylan0513 here. The Avatar Wikipedia Article which can be found here, will be featured on Wikipedia's main page on February 21st, 2007, the 2 year anniversary of the first showing of Avatar. This is big news for Avatar and all the Avatar editors at Wikipedia have worked hard on this. Congrats to all.
Last night the 34th Annual Annie Awards ceremony was held, where animation's best and brightest in feature film and television are recognized.
We are proud to report Avatar won in both the categories it was nominated! Giancarlo Volpe was nominated for "Directing in an Animated Television Production" for "The Drill" episode, and Yu Jae Myung won for "Character Animation in a Television Production" for "The Blind Bandit." This brings the trophy case for Avatar up to 5 total, 3 from the Annies (one win last year for Lauren MacMullan for "Storyboarding in an Animated Television Production" for the episode "The Deserter") and two Pulcinella Awards in 2005 (Best Series and Best Action/Adventure Series). Congratulations are extended to Giancarlo, Yu and the entire Avatar staff! Keep up the good work guys!

As you've probably read up, Dongbu Feng is planning on creating a new podcast for Avatar, hosted by Admin Dylan0513 and his friend. However, we do need a name for the Podcast, and we want it to be something unique. Since we're not that creative, we're letting it up to you the readers to name our podcast and give it a unique and memorable name!
To submit a guess and be eligible for a prize To Be Determined, please go to the forums and post your entry(ies) in this thread. The contest will continue through Saturday. Please post your most creative thoughts, but of course the titles need to be at least somewhat Avatar-related!
In light of fan response several weeks ago, and Youtube deleting more of the Avatar AMVs there, DF will now begin accepting music videos related to Avatar. So if you have a music video featuring clips from Avatar episodes you may submit them to
. Of course we will use our discretion in posting these. Please clearly tell us the name you'd like to be credited as, your email/website you'd like linked to your name, the artist and name of the song you're using and of course the file. They may be sent in any video format.
Also, two new fan articles are up today from karatewolfpunk and Jaguarundi! Plus, very exciting news, coming soon to DF:
Exclusive Avatar podcast hosted by one of our new admins, Dylan0513!
Avatar Live Trivia Chat - If we get enough willing participants, DF will hold Avatar trivia chats the chat room, as well as other chat events
And if you missed it, the official launch of AvatarEscape.com, the new global game, was today. Here are the four codes in order: Pathik (revealed this morning), Bosco (user guess), Kuruk (another user guess, also the name of the Water Tribe avatar before Kyoshi), Yangchen (another guess, name of Air Nomad avatar before Kuruk). The Avatars Throughout History page has been updated with these names.
