DRAWTASTIC Animation Festival
We are always extremely proud to support independent animators everywhere - especially traditional 2D animators. That's why we've established the annual "DRAWTASTIC Animation Festival" - where we present our coveted Golden Pencil Awards to winning filmmakers in each category.
The festival is now in it's 13th incarnation - going from strength-to-strength online. Now, in order to achieve greater accessibility for our winner worldwide, we now opened the event up to be streamed exclusively on our "DRAWtastic!" animation app platform! These app screenings are entirely FREE for anyone, at any time, once the app is installed ton their phone.
This year we are delighted to invite all animated filmmakers around the world, and it every category, to submit their films to our 2024 event. Our 2024 festival event will be premiered on September 2nd, 2024, with the final deadline for entries being July 28th. Earlybird entries are open NOW.
