Once you have completed an animation project, here are some places to post them and contests to enter. The two festivals listed here accept entries in the spring, so if you are creating projects in the spring as I do and it is impossible to meet that year's deadline, you will have to submit them for the following spring's festivals. These animations will be submitted to these festivals and sites. The California Student Media Festival The International Student Media Festival School Tube NextVista ShortFilmDepot
Media Release forms are required for student work posted online and used in media festivals. Below is one I have made to adapt to one's needs. Note that the text " [your name here]" should be replaced by instructors name and school district. Check first to see if your school district has a standard Minors Media release form for web projects. This form can be adapted to fit in those guidelines.
Above: The stack of 120 media release forms collected for this project. The collection of forms can take longer than the project so I recommend sending out forms to parents as soon as project begins.
