34th Annie Awards Now Open for Entries
ASIFA-Hollywood has issued its official call for entries for the 34th Annual Annie Awards honoring outstanding achievement in animation across film, television, commercials and short subjects. All rules, category information and entry forms are available online at www.annieawards.org or by contacting ASIFA-Hollywood at (818) 842-8330. The deadline to receive entry forms is Friday, Oct. 6 2006. All nomination judging material is due by Oct. 27, 2006. Final nominations will be announced by ASIFA-Hollywood on Dec. 5, 2006.
The Annie Awards, the industry’s oldest and most prestigious awards, are considered an important industry benchmark and a predictor of the Academy Award for Animation. The winner of the most coveted and high profile Best Animated Feature Annie has gone on to claim the Oscar for animation every year since its inception.
The Annie Awards honor achievement within 23 categories recognizing overall excellence as well as individual excellence in areas ranging from production design, character animation, and effects animation to storyboarding, writing, directing, music and voice acting. Entries submitted for consideration must be from productions that originally aired, were exhibited in an animation festival or were commercially released in the U.S. between Jan. 1, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2006.
The year’s Annie Award winners and juried lifetime achievement award recipients will be celebrated at a black-tie awards ceremony on Feb. 11, 2006, at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California (216 N. Brand Blvd.). The evening is attended by more than 1,000 industry insiders and includes the awarding of trophies, presentations by animation luminaries and celebrity presenters, special lifetime achievement awards and a pre-reception in the courtyard of the majestic Alex Theatre. A post-show reception also follows. Tickets are available to the general public space permitting.
Founded in 1972 by ASIFA member and veteran voice talent June Foray, the Annie Awards have grown in scope and stature for the past three decades. Today, ASIFA-Hollywood, the largest of an international network of chapters, supports a range of animation activities and preservation efforts through its membership. Current initiatives include the Animation Archives, animation preservation, special events, classes and screenings.

ASIFA is the French acronym for L’Association Internationale du Film D’ Animation, an organization founded in 1957 in France by a group of professional animators and chartered by UNESCO in 1960 to encourage the art of animation and further international understanding and goodwill through the animation medium. Today, there are ASIFA chapters in nearly 30 countries worldwide.
