We're quite late to report this, but there's still time to submit your work for the Blender Conference 2007 Animation Festival and Suzanne Awards.
This year there are three categories: best short film, best character animation and best designed short film. The deadline for submitting your work is Wednesday September 12th; the festival itself is on Friday October 12th.
You'll find more information on the Blender.org Conference pages.

Cool!
Thanks B@rt :)
time to start a new project...
or time to hurry up with an old project.
Excellent. I was actually planning to send in a message to you today!!! As per usual my psychic powers sufficed! ehm... ok... maybe we should call them deficiencies.
But seriously. There's still 2 weeks to get work in. Also if anyone has seen anything really cool in the last year (and there has been lots)... poke me or the creator of the work!!!
And remember, we're not only looking for submissions for the festival this year... if you have something that is basicly just really interesting for your fellow blender users we can just show it for the fun of it. I mean things like tests of the new glossy stuff, the particle rewrites/glsl shading... Of course it will have to be a pretty video, but if it's cool... we'll put it in a reel, and if there's time... we'll show it (last year we didn't just show things during the festival, but lots was shown on saturday as well).
There have been some lovely submissions already! I hope to see more come in the next two weeks...
And don't forget the forum thread!

What do I win?
@jan: hehe :) fixed! Your file was quite boring though, so I'm afraid you don't get a prize!
Well, I have a video project due for school in two weeks. I'll use Blender for the special effects. Oh! Even better, Ton expressed interest in my realistic fire stuff. I'll have to make a much better demonstration video for it and I'll send THAT in! That'll wow the crowd for sure.
What codec/container do you doods prefer?
Bmud, see the thread in my earlier post. We're hoping to go for 1280 x 720px 24fps probably encoded with xvid (since that's open).
