The contest is open to either new or previously made animated works, produced by professional or amateur animators. Interactive animations, videogame intros, teasers, animation series episodes or pilots and traditional animation shorts can participate in the competition. The important thing is that the piece be able to convey, through the language of animation, a consistent and attractive communication in any kind of media. In order to compete, the submitted pieces should have between 30 seconds and 10 minutes in length.
