Industry Excellence Award Submission (Hidden)


Step 1 of 4 - Type of Submission

  • Industry Excellence Award

    This award is for an individual person for their work in the fields of:

    • Scriptwriting
    • Storyboarding
    • Character Design
    • Character Animation

    Only work on one project can be submitted per nomination. You may nominate another person as long as you have their permission. As scriptwriters we understand you often work in pairs and so two people can be under one nomination for scriptwriting. All collaborations will require a little clarification in the form. International nominations are accepted.

    Nominations must be for one person working on a project that has been commissioned by a third party or broadcaster (television or online). It can not be a student film or have been commissioned as part of advancement in an academic qualification process, nor is it an independent project created without the input of any third party commissioner. Applying for and receiving funding for a film pre-conceived by the filmmaker does not qualify as a commission.

    Nominations MUST have the permission of the rights holder of the project and the nominee to enter into this award.

    Supporting documentation will be requested in the submission process, ideally a copy of the storyboard, animatic or script, design work or a clip/showreel of clips of the nominees work on character animation. This will only be viewed by the selection committee and the jury.

    All nominations must be received by Friday 28 July 2023 for projects/work completed after 29 July 2022.

    Manchester Animation Festival will hold the details of your submission in accordance with our privacy policy.
