Toon Boom, Myouterspace Contest Animates William Shatner

Think you have what it takes to animate the legendary actor who gave us Captain James T. Kirk, T.J. Hooker and Denny Crane?

Then get cracking on your entry for the Myouterspace Contest, hosted by William Shatner and presented by Toon Boom Animation, Myouterspace.com and the Academy of Art University.

To enter, animators need to make an original video based on one of three short Shatner monologue featuring myouterspace.com and using the Personal Learning Edition of Toon Boom Animate or Animate Pro. The contest opened Sept. 1 and the deadline for entry is Dec. 1.

A round of online voting will decide the winners of the contest, who receive prizes including Toon Boom software, scholarships for online courses at Academy of Art University, and the chance to work on an animated series.

‘This is a unique opportunity to bring together sci-fi and animation fans. We look forward to seeing the outstanding animation both the Myouterspace and Toon Boom communities will create,’ said Joan Vogelesang, president and CEO at Toon Boom.
