Animation Competition

The IPHE has launched an Animation Competition, aimed at students at colleges and universities throughout the UK. The student can be taking any subject and is not limited to art-based courses. Prizes include an Apple laptop computer worth £1,000.

“We want to work with colleges and universities to give aspiring animators and designers the chance to show their skill,” said Blane Judd, chief executive. “However, we also want to encourage other students interested in animation to have a go.”

The Institute is looking for a meaningful piece of animation or video that shows why you should use a competent plumber. The winning animation will sit on the IPHE’s new website (to be launched this year) and will be publicised via email. It is expected the email link leading to the animation will reach a massive UK and overseas audience, giving the ultimate opportunity for the winning student to showcase their talent. Those achieving second and third place will also have the chance to see their animation placed on the IPHE website and promoted via email.

Copies of the rules and entry forms can be either be downloaded from www.iphe.org.uk or contact Joanne Morris on 01708 463106.
