Submission Deadline: December 1, 2013

A huge number of film submissions already have reached us by post – and more and more films have been submitted via our online platform. Many thanks to all those who have already sent their animated films for the 21st Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film (ITFS) that will take place April 22 – 27, 2014. As usual, the choice will not be easy, however, our pre-selection jury is already looking forward to watch the submitted works.

All those who have not submitted their films yet can catch up until the closing date on December 1, 2013 (date of receipt) for the following competitions:

• International Competition (short film competition)
• AniMovie (feature-length film competition)
• Young Animation (student film competition)
• Tricks for Kids – shorts and series (competition for short films and TV series for children)
• Cartoons for Teens (competition for animated shorts, series, animes, machinimas and cut scenes from computer games for youths)

The unique combination of the Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film, the Animation Production Day and the FMX (Conference on Animation, Effects, Games and Transmedia) has developed the event into one of the most important platforms of the animation industry worldwide.

The various competition programmes are endowed with prize money of more than 70.000 € in total. Filmmakers and/or producers of the selected films will be invited.

Entry forms and film uploads or DVDs have to be received by the Film- und Medienfestival gGmbH until December 01, 2013. To submit your film, please use your ITFS community account or create one. You can access both the online registration form and upload your film with this account. Films may also be submitted on DVD. Please read the regulations carefully. On submitting a film, the applicant agrees to the regulations and accepts that the film can be selected for any of the competitions or for another programme section.
