SEAIR gives away vacation packages at animation contest

     Participants at the “Animated Short Tails” contest can win a vacation package for two at one of the country’s best year-round destinations, Batanes.

     Presented by Southeast Asian Airlines (SEAIR), together with the Animation Council of the Philippines, Inc.

     "As we see and acknowledge that animation is an edgy marketing tool to promote our products and services," says Delza Gochoco, Seair officer-in-charge for Commercial Affairs, "Seair decided to partner with ACPI for 2011 to help promote our airline and its destinations, but at the same time to help boost the production of more original Filipino animation."

     The contest is divided into the professional and student divisions.  The first place winner in the professional division gets two Batanes roundtrip tickets and three days, two nights accommodations for two at Batanes Seaside; second place gets two Boracay roundtrip tickets plus three days, two nights stay for two at Fairways and Bluewater Resort; and third place gets two Boracay roundtrip tickets.

     The top draw in the student division wins a Batanes roundtrip ticket and three days, two nights stay at Batanes Seaside; second place gets a Boracay roundtrip ticket and three days, two nights stay at Fairways and Bluewater Resort; and third place gets a Boracay roundtrip ticket.  A participant in the school division must provide a photocopy of the school ID and school registration form together with the entry form.

They can be in cel animation, line drawing, stop motion objects or animated objects, stop motion puppet, stop motion clay/claymation, sand on glass, paint on glass, cut-outs, pixilation, 2D computer/flash animation, 3D computer, or a combination of the above forms.

     "The support from different private institutions has been overwhelming," emphasizes Michael Kho Lim, Executive Director of Animation Council of the Philippines, Inc. "We feel that these companies are seeing the growth potential of the animation industry and how it can enliven the economy.  Their support then becomes advantageous for our local artists as they get the support and encouragement to produce more original content."

     SEAIR is the nation's second oldest airline and is the only airline that flies from Manila to the idyllic northern province of Batanes.  It has the longest history of uninterrupted flights to Boracay via Caticlan and offers the fastest flights to the world-class beach destination at 35 minutes.  It was the 2009 Best Airline of the Year at the Philippines' Consumer Excellence Award.  This year, SEAIR was named Gold Brand by the Gold Brands Council Philippines for brand image appeal and trust and market acceptance.

     ACPI is a non-profit organization recognized and supported by the government to promote Filipino animation talents worldwide.  It holds the annual animation festival, “Animahenasyon”, which features works of aspiring and professional animators in the country through a competition, master classes, animation congress, and work exhibits of seasoned animators and lifetime achievement awardees.
