Animated features and series bring the imagination to life. Animation is so important to the entertainment industry because of the way it connects with every person out there. In such divisive times, we need these films and series more than ever. Recent films like SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDERVERSE or ENCANTO have captured the attention of wide audiences with their amazing graphics and deep themes. Long-running series like THE SIMPSONS and BOB'S BURGERS bring out the edgy and quirky side of animation, but also contain big themes and metaphors. Audiences and entertainment industry pros are always looking for their next favorite animated film and series - so we want to hear your ideas!

Stage 32 is excited to present our 3rd Annual New Voices in Animation Screenwriting Contest!
