Cartoon Springboard 2021

Save the date! Submissions will open soon for Cartoon Springboard, the annual pitching event that takes place from October 27-29 in Valencia, Spain. 

Successful projects will pitch to industry delegates, including producers, broadcasters and sales agents, as our students seek ways to capitalise on the festival success of their films. 

Cartoon Springboard

Cartoon Springboard is an annual pitching event aimed at helping rising talent break into the industry.  

At Cartoon Springboard, graduates of European animation schools pitch their project in front of a panel of experts from the animation industry.   The event offers opportunities for animation graduates to pitch their ideas to producers, financiers and sales agents - the people who can bring original animation content to the market. 

Creative Content

The Art of the Pitch

Learning how to create fresh content and then pitch it is one of the key skills that all our students at Escape Studios learn. TV Animation is in the midst of a great expansion, with new networks and digital platforms competing for creative content.  For our students with fresh ideas for a TV series in the works, there are now many places to pitch original content. 

Cartoon Movie and Cartoon Forum
Cartoon Movie and Cartoon Forum will also take applications later this year, with Cartoon Forum taking place in September 2021, and Cartoon Movie happening in March 2021.
