[Newgrounds.com]( Greetings, {NAME}! [Summer Animation Jams - June 1st.]( Posted by [TomFulp]() Animators! We are hosting a Summer Animation Jams event and it begins FRIDAY, JUNE 1st. At 3PM EST on June 1st, you will be given a theme to base an animation on. You will have until 3PM EST on Wednesday, June 27th, to finish your piece. This even was originally going to beging on June 13th but we expanded the first round as part of a partnership with [@RubberNinja]( #Animonthly on Twitter. Both ROUND 1 and the June #Animonthly will share a theme and RubberNinja will be one of the ROUND 1 celebrity judges. You may work with a team but each team should specify the LEAD ANIMATOR, who will get the points. Support members may include background art (bg animation is fine), coloring, in-betweens, voice actors, musicians and sound editors. You will be expected to use original characters and audio that [doesn't present licensing issues.]( ROUND 2 will be announced at 3PM EST on Wednesday June 27th and it will have a specific ROBOT theme. The deadline for ROUND 2 will be 11:59PM on Tuesday, July 10th, aka [@MindChamber]( [ROBOT DAY]( on Newgrounds. Your entry will be eligible for a Robot Day prize. The entire event will be five rounds. There are no eliminations and you are not required to participate in every round. Winners for each round will be announced within a week of each round conclusion. Points will be awarded as such: 1st: 10 pts 2nd: 9 pts 3rd: 8 pts 4th: 7 pts 5th: 6 pts 6th: 5 pts 7th: 4 pts 8th: 3 pts 9th: 2 pts 10th: 1 pt Whoever has the most points at the end of the event will be crowned the winner! There are prizes: 1st - $300 2nd - $200 3rd - $100 This is a great opportunity to push yourself over the summer, while also building a portfolio of work. It would be awesome to see as many animators as possible in attendance, both newcomers and pros! You don't need to formally sign up in advance but you can reply to this thread saying you intend to participate; it's fun to see who might turn up. To enter, all you need to do is create an animation at any point during the event. You could miss Round 1 and still enter Round 2 but you'll have the best odds of accumulating points if you participate in every round (our previous winner participated in four of five rounds, for example). Curious for examples? Here are the rounds from last time: 1. [Loop Jam]( 2. [Robot Jam]( 3. [Sound Jam]( 4. [Mascot Jam]( 5. [Creep Jam]( See ya on June 1st! Follow Us!
