As part of the Nickelodeon Preschool Television 2014 Animated Shorts Program, Nickelodeon is looking for character-based shorts that are silly, whacky, loony and hilariously funny to its core audience of two-to-five year olds. Shorts should include strong characters that appeal to both boys and girls, and should avoid stereotyping of any kind.
Creative Guidelines:
Shorts should be respectful of preschooler's development, gearing humor and content to the audience.
Shorts should be visually stimulating and push the conventions of design while working on a level respectful of preschooler's development.
Shorts should avoid topics and issues that date and link the series to a particular time and fad.
Shorts should have no more than 2-3 characters.
Shorts are limited to 2:00 (two minutes) in length and should primarily take place in one setting.
Nick Preschool is open to all animation styles.
Pitch materials must include the following:
* Concept treatment (two paragraphs about your idea)
* Character descriptions and designs
* 2-minute rough thumbnail storyboard OR 2-minute script/outline
* Resume and credits
* Link to online portfolio and/or work samples (if available)
* If available, you can provide a link to additional pitch content.
The deadline for submissions is Monday 28th April 2014. For more details, and to submit your concept, visit shorts.nickjr.com.
