The 2005 China International Cartoon and Digital Art Festival (http://www.cicdaf.com/english/index.asp) will be held in Changzhou, China, on September 28 to October 5, 2005. Last year's edition drew crowds in excess of 130,000. Since then, the city has been designated by the Central Government as one of 9 new animation production centers, and it is estimated that 150,000 visitors will attend this year's event. Also present at the show will be numerous production studios, schools, media organizations, and technology vendors and providers. To encourage outside participation, the organizing committee will grant each of the first 3 foreign participants 9 square meters of free space for a stand of their design and choosing, as well as free accommodation (hotel stay and meals) for the duration of the event. Do let us know ASAP if you are interested and we'll follow up with an official invitation and information package.
