Responsive| searching for competition

    For this module we were asked to search and participate in one competition or live brief and document our journey through blog posts.
    As illustration, concept art and animation are my main interests I've search for competitions that are looking for work in those fields. Below is a list of competitions that I've found somehow interesting.

     There is also a website with a list of animation festivals, were you can find informations about various events around world. Unfortunately most of those websites doesn't have a revelant information for 2013/2014 submissions. I'm planning to come back and check them after few weeks.
     There are also competitions on sites like threadless, deviantart, conceptart.org or cgsociety that are run on regular basis. Moreover Balistic Publishing started shipping Expose 11, so the submission call for issue 12 will be open soon.
     I had a look at D&AD New Blood Awards for past 2 years and found some categories and briefs interesting and challenging. Personally, despite of my extensive research into animation festivals, I might be more into illustration/design related task as it would challenge me more and let me explore different ideas.
     As I mentioned earlier, I'll check above listed websites again in the next few weeks and decide in which competition I want to participate.
