The Cartoon d'Or is the only European prize specific to the animation film industry. The idea is original because this award is based on the 9 most important European festivals.
Indeed, only the European films recompensed at these 9 European Festivals for animation film are allowed to compete for the Cartoon d’Or. CARTOON, with the support of the MEDIA Programme of the European Union, conceived the CARTOON D'OR as a springboard: this important trophy will be awarded together with a financial aid, to be used by the winning director to start a new and more ambitious project, such as feature film or a TV-special.
