Nickelodeon Launches Storyboard Competition. Nickelodeon's Worldwide Development Group, an international team of Nickelodeon creative and development executives, is launching Nickelodeon's first global animation storyboard competition. The competition is open to animators around the world. Six winners will be given the opportunity to produce a one to three minute animated short based on their winning storyboard and have it air on Nickelodeon channels around the world. Nickelodeon is looking for innovative animators with fresh, character-driven ideas that are irreverent, edgy, and contemporary, and at the same time look at the world from a kid's point of view. The storyboards should appeal to kids in the six to fouteen age group. Entries are due August 31, 1999, and will be judged by a panel of experts from the television, entertainment, and animation industries. Six winners will be picked in October. WDG will then commission animated shorts from the winners, and each animator will receive $15,000 for production of the short. The deadline for delivery of completed shorts is February 1, 2000. Once the shorts are made, judges will award $3500 to the top short, and $1500 to the runner-up.
