FAQ

questions? we have answers!

  • (NEW RULE) Can I submit a film made with AI?
    No. Films created wholly or partially using generative AI are not considered.
  • Can I submit a 1-minute short animation?
    Yes, as long as it has a story and relates to the theme.
  • Can I submit a 30-second short animation?
    Yes, as long as it has a story and relates to the theme.
  • Can I submit a 5-second short animation?
    Yes, as long as it has a story and relates to the theme.
  • Can I submit a work I did previously that happens to fit the theme?
    Hm… yes, but that’s no big fun is it….
  • Does the film have to be about a trip? What qualifies for the theme?
    TRIP is the overall theme! You can use it visually, conceptually, or as part of the narrative. For example, it can be a TRIP someone is taking to celebrate the birthday of their dog, a giant horse TRIPping on a stick, or someone TRIPping hard on frog poison!
  • Can I do a group submission?
    Yes.
  • What is the Tiny Man?
    Tiny Man is a festival, challenge, and celebration of animated stories. It’s an opportunity to practice and showcase your animation and storytelling skills (and an excuse to wear a bow tie and gather around for a night of cartoons).
  • What is a “story” anyway?
    Whatever you think the definition of a story is.
  • Is there any other requirements for the submission?
    The film should have a title card.
  • Are there any awards?
    Yes.
