Me and my brother are having a go at the Nicktoons Film festival. I was just wondering if anyone else was entering.
Is anyone else entering?

Yes. You must be at least 18 years of age to enter. [/quote]

Is it just me, or does that seem kind of odd for a kids' network?? I don't know anything about the contest, but it just strikes me as odd, making the minimum age be 18.

I was going to enter, but I'm already signed with Spike and Mike for distribution.
I think the age limit has something to do with the contest's intent. From what I understand, it's a way for them to shop for the next big show. A number of cable animations were discovered through animation festivals (like Fairly Odd Parents, and Power Puff Girls) So, they can cut out the middle man and run a contest of their own. Thus the $10,000 incentive.
It isn't too bad a deal. $10k, international exposure, and a possible inside track to a deal on your own series? Not bad at all.
Last year (and it may be the case this year), if you got on their DVD, they gave you a percentage from DVD sales. I doubt it would allow you to quit your day job, but most festivals don't give any cash prizes or percentages for DVD sales ("Spike and Mike" pays a chunk up front for usage and that's it, no matter how popular or unpopular your piece becomes).

Be careful, if it catches on your mum might say "screw you" and take the money and run! She gets rich and you can hope to get adopted!

Sounds like a good movie. Starring: Sharon Stone and Macaulay Culkin.
Happy 300th post (to the both of us)

YAY my 150th post!
My mum wouldn't do that. I trust her.

Hmmm, Sharon Stone would sound like a good option though Dan.
Happy 300 everybody and 150 for the young ones! We've got to get a real life now...
