L.A. Film School offers $20K animation scholarship

The Los Angeles Film School announced Tuesday that it will offer a $20,000 computer animation scholarship to the winner of its innovative LA Film School Computer Animation Competition.

The competition, which will be made up of contestants that create and submit themed animation projects, will be open to the general public. The contestant with the most imaginative project will receive a $20,000 scholarship towards the Los Angeles Film School's Computer Animation Associate Degree program.

Artists will be eligible to submit their original work until December 22. On December 26, a winner will be announced.

Recognized graphic artist and Los Angeles Film School Computer Animation Program director Bobby Milly will oversee the competition and eventually choose the winning project.

"This is a truly great opportunity for talented individuals to showcase their abilities and jumpstart their career," Milly said. "I can't wait to see the work of these aspiring designers and animators."

Since the project is open to the public, applicants are not required to have prior computer animation experience.

"This competition is unparalleled, as I have never seen a computer animation program offer such an opportunity," Milly added. "The idea of it should send shockwaves through the creative world."
