Join us to promote peace around the globe with your animation. We want to speak out against killing one another as the answer to conflict.
Today, there are over 28 armed conflicts that are occurring across the globe. How do we as an organization respond? When the Association Internationale du Film d’Animation (ASIFA) was chartered in 1960 it was partly in response to a world at war. Provisioned under UNESCO, Peace has been one of the tenets of interchange between animators and our differing cultures. As the UNESCO vision statement states:
Since wars begin in the minds of men and women, it is in the minds of men and women that peace must be built.(UNESCO)
Inspired by Russian Animators who spoke out against war with Ukraine, we want to promote Peace everywhere. No matter what you believe or how you disagree with one another, violence and killing is not the answer. All creatures have the right to live in peace.
Animations created and shared will be shown world-wide streaming on International animation day (October 28, 2025) and possibly be collected into a selection for showing theatrically at festivals and be used as part of a social media campaign. They will be shared freely without financial gain for anyone.
Submissions are invited from artists of all ages, all levels of skill, all inclusive, all over the world!
Submission Deadline is September 1
