Recruitment of Finalists for DigiCon6 Asia Awards

Short Animation Awards Ceremony Hosted by Japan TBS

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency are recruiting animations to participate in the DigiCon6 Asia Awards until the 31st of next month. The DigiCon6 Asia Awards is a short animation awards ceremony hosted by Japan's private broadcaster TBS. Fifteen Asian countries including Korea, China, Singapore, and Thailand participate. The Korea Creative Content Agency selects works to participate in the finals. The grand prize is for digital short films within 15 minutes in length. Four works will be selected: one gold prize, two silver prizes, and one next-generation prize. A representative from the agency stated, "We provide a certain prize money and support for airfare and accommodation expenses to participate in the final awards in Japan."

Korea has participated in the DigiCon6 Asia Awards since 2003 and has produced twenty award-winning works. These include Lumination directed by Choi Hyun-joo, Deer Flower directed by Kim Kang-min, and On the Starry Night directed by Lee Jong-hoon. Last year, Battery Dad directed by Jeon Seung-bae won the Asia Silver Award in the That's Entertainment! category. Kim Sang-hyun, head of the Broadcasting and Video Division at the Korea Creative Content Agency, said, "We feel the competitiveness of domestic animation as we produce award-winning works every year and receive many requests for submissions," adding, "We will expand support so that new creators can make better works and have their value recognized."
