Things Took a Turn is an annual animation anthology that challenges artists of marginalized genders (including women, non-binary artists, and trans men)  to create new animated short stories by twisting familiar narratives

​

Rules:

​

- Participants must pick a known story or trope and find a new way to change or interpret it into a short animation. This can mean keeping tropes as loose threads of your story or sticking to the original plot like glue, but there MUST be a noticeable change at some point.
 

-Participants should identify as female, trans, non-binary, or genderqueer – let's see all the great work you animators and designers have to offer!
 

-Final submissions must be between 5 seconds and 3 minutes long. 

​

-All experience levels welcome.

​

-Collaborations welcome, but also this could be a cool opportunity to challenge yourself to do something outside your comfort zone!

​

-One entry per person/team

​

-Submissions should have subtitles if they're not in English

​

​

At the end, collected submissions will be curated into one long video! You can see last year's anthology here!
