Archive notice: This article was originally published on 24 June 2020. It has been translated into English and lightly edited for clarity while preserving its historical context. The planned 2020 animago Award, Conference and Exhibition were cancelled. This announcement is retained as a historical record.
Digital Production and Busch Glatz Germany cancelled animago 2020 because the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated event restrictions made safe, reliable planning impossible.
No reduced-format event
The organisers examined ways to run the Award, Conference and Exhibition while protecting participants and retaining value for artists, partners and visitors. Each workable scenario required cuts to the programme, content or networking platform. The team concluded that a reduced animago would not meet the event’s established standard.
Development continued
Digital Production and Busch Glatz Germany used the additional time to develop the event further with long-standing partners Günter Hagedorn for the jury and competition and Thomas Gronert for the conference. Entries already submitted for 2020 remained in the competition.
The cancellation and submission arrangements described here apply only to the 2020 event. Check current organiser information before planning attendance or submissions.
