The Rules

Please read the following carefully *before* submitting your content.

  • You can send as many animations as you like, but if you just send a bunch of different versions of the exact same thing… we won’t be posting ever single altered color scheme… so save your bandwidth.
  • The name and the e-mail address must be valid, and they are the ones that will be credited. We will contact you before announcing the winners with that e-mail address (in case you win).
  • All the animations must be released under a free license. By submitting you agree that the content will become public domain.
  • We welcome any type of animation, Logo Reveals, Looping Bugs, Transitional Wipes, Vanity Slates…. Note though that because this is a contest that we’ll be voting on, we do need at least 5 seconds of video to judge.
  • The free license of ProAnimator will expire June 1st… don’t let time slip by without getting in there and learning it.
  • We ask that you send us a direct URL to your video preferably Youtube or Vimeo.
  • All entries must be submitted before midnight 12am EST May 31st. We will then open them for voting in the beginning of June.
  • You must use Zaxwerks ProAnimator with no additional help from other 3d software (After Effects isn’t considered 3d in this case). Finally, you must include either the AEtuts+ logo or the Zaxwerks logo in your animation in order to qualify!
