The main intentions for this event are:

• to give the audience an enjoyable overview about the relevant annual animation production.

• to serve as a meeting point for discussion and exchange for an interested audience, animation artists and especially for students from all schools in Austria, which offer animation programmes or courses.

It is the biggest event in Austria in terms of numbers of participating animated short films produced in Austria / by Austrians. In the festival edition 2014 we have received 90 films from all over Austria, 39 of them were selected to be shown in the 3 competitive screenings.

The prominent Award Jury 2014 consists of 
MMag. Birgit Scholin (artist, BEST AUSTRIAN ANIMATION Award Winner 2013)
Mag. Bady Minck (filmmaker, producer; AMOUR FOU Vienna & Luxembourg)
Dr. Peter Zawrel (culture manager, director of the famous Künstlerhaus in Vienna)

This jury will decide about the „ASIFA Austria Award – BEST AUSTRIAN ANIMATION“.
Additionally they will give six „Honorable Mentions“ in these categories:
Best Narration, Best Experimental Film, Best Analog and Best Digital Work,
Best Use of Sound and Music and Best Music Video.

For the main prize HUION gives away its Pen Tablet Monitor GT-190, and the six winners of the „Honorable Mentions“ will each receive a DIN A 3 LED Tracing Board (LED light pad)
