 The award is named after Yoram Gross (1926-2015), the producer, director and animator of most of the commissioned animation in Israel during the 50's and 60's (and Joseph the Dreamer feature), before immigrating to Australia, where he created over 14 features and many TV series and shorts.

 Daniela Sherer is an indie animator and illustrator, who has worked on projects ranging from music videos and short independent films to animated sequences for features and animation for the stage.

 Her animated films have won awards and have been exhibited in festivals worldwide, such as Annecy, Hiroshima, Zagreb, OIAF and Stuttgart ITFS.
