MANILA, Philippines - The Cinemalaya Foundation and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) in cooperation with the Animation Council of the Philippines (ACPI) launched recently the Cinemalaya logo animation competition.
The competition, which involves the production of a new animation work of the Cinemalaya logo, is part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival. The 15-second animation work will be used as the new opening billboard (OBB) for all Cinemalaya competition films. At present, the OBB is a 2D animation of the Cinemalaya logo created in 2006.
The competition is open to all Filipino professional and student/amateur animators. The participant may or may not be a resident of the Philippines and does not necessarily have to be a Filipino citizen as long as he/she has Filipino lineage. A participant is allowed to submit a maximum of two entries only. The entries may be a 2D or 3D animation work.
Entry forms and competition guidelines and rules may be downloaded from the Cinemalaya, CCP and ACPI websites. The application period is until June 13. The winner will be announced during the Cinemalaya presscon at the CCP on July 9. The winner will receive a cash prize of P50,000 and a certificate of recognition.
