Oscar Qualifying Festivals for Animation Shorts

Peter Baynton, Charlie Mackesy:  The Boy, The Mole, The Fox And The Horse’ (Jordan Strauss/AP)

Here you have the full lists of the Oscar-qualifying film festivals for animation short films (and short films in general) that are eligible for the 96th Academy Awards (11 March 2024). The animation shorts that have won one of the prizes below between 1 October 2022, and September 30, 2023, may be eligible to submit for 96th Academy Awards consideration.

The list is divided into 4 parts: Animation Festivals, Short Film Festivals (with an animation short film component and award), Film Festivals (with a short/animation film component and award), and Film Awards(National Awards that include an animation award).

Documentary festivals and their awards are here included; animation is not a genre, and animation documentaries do compete in documentary festivals as well. Also, some of the 'National Competition' short film competition can give their prize to an animation film, so this category and award are also included.  The list is valid for the 2024 Academy Awards (to be updated for the 2025 Academy Awards).
