The most creative and original animation concept with the potential to be exported will earn its producer a $19,000 USD prize from Green Gold Animation. This will comprise $2,500 in cash, and a consultancy package worth $16,500 for the winner to develop their animation, making it ready to pitch to broadcasters.
