Animate is on the hunt for single screen, experimental animation, made by artists and animators based anywhere in the world. The work should broadly reflect or respond to the world today – community, activism, protest – urging us to become agents of a future, better world.

All selected works will be eligible for the Jury Award (£1,000) and Audience Award (£1,000). Selected artists will be paid an exhibition fee of £300, for the gallery and touring screenings.

The Animate OPEN is a partnership between Animate Projects and QUAD, Derby. The exhibition will launch in February 2025, as part of QUAD’s current programme, New Worlds, New Discoveries. We also plan to screen the works with other partners, in cinema and gallery spaces.
