Open to all Primary, Secondary and Special Schools in Devon.
Animated Exeter 2003 needs a specially created animation film trailer to promote the festival. Throughout the festival the trailer will be screened before the films at the Exeter Picture House. We want children to design this trailer in a ‘Storyboard’ format.
The winning entry will be professionally animated by students and tutors at the Glamorgan Centre for Art Design & Technology.

Animated Exeter invites schools to enter a ‘Storyboard’ 10 to 1 countdown.
The 5 winning will be invited to spend a day at the Media Education Centre in Exeter with a professional animator to turn their ‘Storyboard’ into a 10 second film.
The short films will be screened at the 2004 festival between the Animated Exeter Trailer and the main programme at the Exeter Picture House.
