## [They Shoot Animators, Don’t They?](https://animate.org.uk/editorial/2001/06/they-shoot-animators-dont-they/)

Chrysalis TV are staging an animation marathon competition, for broadcast on Channel 4’s Animation Zone this autumn.

6 animators will be locked together in a room for a sleepless 72 hours to create a 1-3 minute animation short, in any technique. The completed films will be voted on by visitors to C4’s website and the winning animator will be awarded a holiday and cash prize.

To take part, you must be 16 or over and free to animate non-stop between 10-13 August. The entry deadline is 15 July; Chrysalis will need to see examples of previous work. Full details at the Channel 4 website.
