The 2020 "Junior Golden Pencil Awards"
Welcoming all young dreamers, artists and animators to our fabulous JUNIOR GOLDEN PENCIL AWARDS competition!
Show us how you can imagine, execute and deliver an original piece of pencil-drawn of animation. Then, if you're the best entry in each category, we'll give you an incredible "Golden Pencil Award", plus other exciting prizes!
THE CHALLENGE:
I'm sure you can remember what your "happiest moment" is? If so, we want you to animate it! You can do it in two ways, depending on how old you are. For example...
If you are a "JUNIOR" (11 years old and under) you need to create a "flipbook" to express your happiness ideas.
If you are a "SENIOR" (17 years old and under) you need to create a short "pencil-drawn animation" piece to do the same.
Your animation can recreate a real happy moment you've experienced in the past. Alternatively, it could represent a fantasy experience you wished would happen to you. You are free to do anything, as long as it represents a personal "happy moment" for you.
The happiest animated moments we receive will also receive a digital diploma of recognition!
