Submission guidelines

All entries must be handed in by 7.15pm on the night of the screening. There are two ways of doing this.

1. If you are there on the night, they can be handed in to Sarah at the venue by 7.15pm.
2. If you are an interstate or international entrant, they can be emailed to submissions@theanimationclub.com by 5pm on the day of the screening.

If you are emailing your entry, there is a 20MB attachment limit. If your file is bigger than that, please send using Yousendit (http://www.yousendit.com/) or similar. Also, you must include a topic suggestion in case you win, so we can announce the new topic straight away.

File details: Must be submitted as a QUICKTIME FILE with a ratio of either 16:9 (1024x576) or 4:3 (768x576)

Remember, short and sweet is better than long and painfully dull.
