Learn about the Nordic region with school children from the Nordic countries
Take part in the Nordic animation competition for school children! Come up with a good story based on this year’s Nordic theme and turn it into an animated film where images, movement and sound make your story come alive.
The main theme of the competition is the Nordic region with an emphasis on community. The community between school children across national borders, where the children will experience their culture, language and stories together in new ways. The Nordic animation competition is aimed at school children aged 9 to 13 in Denmark, Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
Each year, we publish a new theme with a Nordic touch. It can be traditions, language, food, folk tales, people, or nature, but also more universal and current topics such as climate, leisure, education, or dreams. The participants will be invited to a large joint online awards ceremony, where the children will watch each other’s films and present awards to each other. Expect an authentic award ceremony atmosphere!
Animation is magical. We can conjure up the other side of the earth, we can get right into the machinery of a factory, dive deep into the oceans or move right into our own bodies to find out how we work. With animation, we can describe difficult subjects and show big emotions. All things that you can apply to making your own animated film.
The challenge for the competition is simple – come up with a good story based on the year’s theme and turn it into an animated film, where images, movement and sound make your story come alive. Read more and get started with animation here.
