This Is Me: Animation Desk Competition

An Animation Contest Designed for YOU

It’s officially June – which means we’re ready to announce our next animation contest! Animation Desk proudly supports individuality amid diversity, therefore, we’ve decided to call this month’s contest This is Me. We want participants to introduce themselves through animation and express their identity. We want to know who YOU are!

Animators are encouraged to unleash their creativity as they please, regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexuality. Entries will be judged solely on the execution and design techniques of the animations, so don’t hold back when telling your story! Be true and be YOU!

Creative In All Capacities: A Conversation With @TheWolves.art

We hosted the Ramen Challenge last December, and it ended up creating more opportunities to connect with our users than we expected! We issued the Challenge to Kdan users everywhere to create their best tasting (and most unique) recipe using ramen noodles and record them on NoteLedge. After narrowing down the competition, our team decided on a winner, @thewolves.art. After sending her Ramen noodles from Nona Lim, Allergy Orchard, and a year-long membership to Creativity 365, she offered to take things to the next level and collaborate on a campaign for our Animation Desk users. In honor of her account reaching 70,000 followers, we hosted the #DTIYS70K (Draw This In Your Style) Campaign. Her followers and our users came together to recreate one of her Animation Desk-inspired drawings. With such creativity and artistic talent, we had a few questions to ask about her work and creative process!
