Application documents for Cartoon Movie 2011
Producers have to send their project to CARTOON including all the elements required by the chosen category, as listed below. However, the Selection Committee will analyse the application files and define the final category of the projects, based on the fact that less developed projects will be considered “in concept” and more mature projects, “in development”.
The dossier
- Deadline: 24 November 2010
- The dossier must be completely filled out in English
If a contract or official paper is in another language, you may include only the first and the last page, and add a short summary in English with the most relevant information (names of the contracting parties, purpose and length of the agreement, etc).
- All documents must be bound
- The file shall comprise no more than 35 pages in all
If a contract or official paper contains too many pages, you may include only the first and the last page, making sure the most relevant information is visible (names of the contracting parties, purpose and length of the agreement, etc).
- In order to avoid late delivery and excess postal charges, the application documents must be sent through an express delivery company (at the sender’s expense) to:
CARTOON – Annick Maes
Av. Huart Hamoir 105
1030 Brussels
Belgium
