A total prize pool of over $15,000 is available for worldwide 2d artists, with several other sponsored prizes from XP-Pen, Magix, and Affinity.

The Reallusion Animation At Work contest invites participants to animate real-life projects for business promotions, educational/training materials, animated comics, Youtube videos, and more.

Check here for more information on each of the categories, listed below:

  • Business & Commercial: Use an animated video as a commercial to promote a realistic or fictional idea, product, or service.
  • Comic & Art: Here we encourage graphic art designers to turn original static drawings, illustrative art, or comic images into an animated piece.
  • Education: Using animated videos for educational purposes such as storytelling, songs for kids, or learning videos.
  • Vertical Shorts: Create a mobile-friendly vertical 2d short and upload it to Youtube, Instagram, and Tiktok. Video length must be more than 15 seconds.
  • Vlog & Vtube: Use Cartoon Animator in your Vlog and Vtuber projects. The animated 2d characters should blend well with the video contents and help illustrate a story.
