Taiwan Animation Contest for Vocational Education
Introduction
Taiwan Animation Contest for Vocational Education is sponsored by Ministry of Education Taiwan and held by National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (Yuntech) since 2005.
The goal of this program is to train students in the field of animation, and provide them with an opportunity of interaction in global animation community.
Approach
Among hundreds films, about 40 are selected by the professional juries and submitted to international animation festivals every year.
If a film is nominated in the competition program by the official, we sponsor the students' trip to the festival.
It enables the students to learn how an international festival works and also grants them with an opportunity to see animations from different cultures.
Moreover, the students are also encouraged to join such animation community by sharing animation ideas with other animators.
Works are submitted to more than 100 festivals every year. The following are 10 in the list.
1. ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival
2. Annecy International Animated Film Festival
3. Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film

A 3-week summer workshop is held every year for those in need of assistance to complete an animation.
Yuntech invites excellent animators to give lectures to students. The students, organized into 6-7 groups, come with works in progress, such as storyboard and animatic.
Under the guide of lecturers, students improve their works, and complete them into complete animations in the following months.
