Animated Com Award

About the ANIMATED COM AWARD:

Since 2007 the Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film has been presenting awards  in the field of applied animation and awards prizes for the best advertising, spatial communication and technology. "COM" stands for both the words commercial and communication.

Among the nominees and award winners of the past few years were top brands like Coca Cola and Sony, NGOs like Amnesty International and music clips of famous bands like "Coldplay".

Prize money totalling 12,500 euros will be awarded for outstanding work in the areas of advertising, spatial communication and technology and the special award. This award is funded by the Daimler AG, Fraunhofer IPA and Mackevision Medien Design GmbH.

No boundaries in concept or technique (from 3-D to Stop Motion) have been set for the animator. The submission, however, must be no longer than 5 minutes.
