Following the success of Urduja and of course, the proliferation of Filipino animators in Disney, Pixar and Marvel, the animation industry is gaining hold in the Philippines.
The 2nd Animahenasyon 2008: Pinoy Animation Festival will be held on November 12-16, 2008 and the Animation Council of the Philippines (ACPI) is calling on Filipino animators for their entries.
The purpose of the 2nd Animahenasyon 2008 aims is to showcase original Philippine animation content and give recognition to Filipinos who are showing aptitude in animation.
Please check out the following rules taken from the Animation Council of the Philippines website.
The competition is composed of a professional and a student/amateur divisions and includes the following categories: one minute up to five minutes; 6 minutes up to 20 minutes; 21 minutes up to 40 minutes; Full-animated feature (more than 40 minutes); music video; OBBs, TVCs, infomercials, demo reels; and TV series.

The Animation Council of the Philippines is a non-stock and non-profit organization whose member companies specialize mainly in, but not limited to, either 2D or 3D animation. It is an organization recognized and supported by the Philippine government whose aim is to promote the Animation Industry globally with the intention of creating an identity for the Philippines to be considered amongst the preferred countries that service the animation industry.
I do wish animation would prosper in the Philippines. Who knows, in the future, an animation studio and a post-production film facility will be set here in the Philippines.
