The QUALITY of your trailer is very important.

- Useful to stand out from the other projects
- Will help to attract a maximum of participants to your presentation

TIP: don't try to show too much of the story, sometimes one simple gag is more efficient than too many images.

It is essential to meet the deadline: trailers that have not reached CARTOON by 10 February 2021 will not be presented during the Croissant & Coffee Shows, and these projects will inevitably be disadvantaged.
The trailers will also appear in the projects’ pages in the Cartoon Movie Application.

IMPORTANT: By sending the trailer, you will be asked if you authorize CARTOON to share your trailer with the press/or the Cartoon website for communication purposes. If you tick the box, this means you grant press/Cartoon website authorization.

➢ 10 February: Trailer has to be sent before this deadline.
