Special Block: Taiwan Animation Contest for Vocational Education

Taiwan Animation Contest for Vocational Education is a project sponsored by Ministry of Education Taiwan and held by National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (Yuntech) since 2005. It is an important platform to promote Taiwanese students’ animations to the world festivals.

Every year, about 40 excellent films are selected from hundreds of animations made by different college students in Taiwan through this contest. After that, these excellent films will be submitted to international animation festivals as a reward. If a film is officially nominated in the competition program, we will sponsor the students to take part in the festival. It enables the students to learn how an international festival works and also grants them with an opportunity to watch animations from different cultures. Moreover, the students are also encouraged to join the animation community by sharing animation ideas with foreign animators.

We are delighted to be able to show a selection of 9 of the 40 films here with us at the International Short Film Festival. Click on the titel of the films or check the programme for details of the individual films.
