Sydney Opera House in partnership with Screen NSW invites the worldwide animation community to take part in Graphic: an online animation competition designed to celebrate the innovation, creativity, and imagination behind the art form.

Illustrators, animators and storytellers of all levels – from established to up-and-coming and newcomers – are encouraged to enter. The winning entry will score $20,000 prize money and be screened at a major Graphic Festival event at Sydney Opera House in August.

A panel of expert judges and members of the public will vote for the most original and creative animations over the course of 3 consecutive rounds.

The competition starts on June 10 and entries for Round 1 must be submitted by June 26.

How it works

Participants will be required to create 3 x 20 second animatics that come together to form a 3-part series. All styles of animation will be accepted and could be anything from a story board comic to stop motion to 3D. Live action will not be accepted. An entrant can be an individual or a creative team.

In round 1, entrants must create a 20 second animatic that includes ALL of the following elements:

i. Overarching theme: Recovery

ii. Characterising element: 7 years old

iii. Sound FX: A yawn

In rounds 2 and 3, entrants must build on their initial story and an additional element will need to be included in each animation.
