\n<\/p>\n

\nIt is now time for our animation, games and vfx students to enter\u00a0The Rookies<\/a><\/i>\u00a0Awards 2025<\/i>, the international competition for young creatives.\u00a0\u00a0The Rookies<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>annual\u00a0<\/i>competition opens today, 7 April 2025\u00a0and the final deadline is 20th June 2025.<\/p>\n
\n

But don’t wait until the deadline – it’s always a good idea to get your project ready for entry. That way you get more eyes on your project, and a head start on the competition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Your checklist includes screen credits (don’t forget Special Thanks<\/i><\/a>), a\u00a0One Sheet<\/a>\u00a0poster, stylish pre-production and development art – all these things should be submitted. And remember – only students can enter. Escape Studios’ tutors and staff cannot do this for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 14th Annual Rookie Awards<\/a> is a global showcase for talent; it is open to young creatives in visual effects, animation, games, virtual reality, motion graphics and 3d visualisation. All our graduating animation and VFX students are encouraged to enter.\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
Create Your Entry Page<\/b><\/p>\n

Start off by creating an entry page and submitting your details.\u00a0 Set up a page and use it to showcase your best work – this can be both as a team (say, on a group project) and also individual work (note that professional client-facing paid work is not admissible).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Students should treat their entry page as something they would show a recruiter when applying for a job. It should include a small bio about you, examples of your work, and your work history.<\/p>\n
