Blender has empowered many independent film-makers with creative freedom to a degree that was never unattainable. This week's winner seems to be one of them.

How, then, can you too qualify for this award? Please have in mind that this award is reserved for those that are on par with or that excel top-notch works published by artists and studios. If such work does not appear during a given week, this award is not being given to anyone. So please submit your best work to www.blenderartist.org or to the Member's Gallery of this site, or Contact Us to show where your work is available on the internet. It doesn't have to be a Blender render, Eevee or Cycles. Any other render engine is fine as long as Blender was used as a part of your workflow.

So, it is with great pleasure that www.BlenderNews.org introduces to you the winner of the Render of the Week Award for the week of January 10, 2022: Michael Soluyanov.

Title: "Mice Xmas"
Genre: Short Film

About "Mice Xmas:"
The mouse family lives modestly, but very peacefully. Daddy Mouse loves Mummy Mouse, and their children, a son and daughter, grow up to be friendly, funny and honest mice. One day, going to town to work, Daddy Mouse shows his son a page ripped out of a magazine, with a diamond-shaped cheese ring on it. He dreams of giving his wife an impressive Christmas present. When father and son enter the jewelry's store, they don't have enough money to buy the ring. Daddy Mouse remembers he has an old but fine watch. He comes up with an idea ….
