Summary

We're making an animation film featuring characters from all countries of the world. We would love for artists from multiple countries to represent their country and draw/sketch one single character concept. All your submissions will be shown to a large audience and hopefully will bring inspiration to many. This project is being submitted to Xprize's Future Visions- a film contest about technological optimism. We wish for as many countries as possible to be represented in our vision. Xprize has given away half a billion USD over 30 years and this is your chance to add to your portfolio a large project with global impact! This project may one day be on the movie screen in your home country :) We are asking for a minimal contribution of 1 character drawn with free hand ability. You may use AI to generate ideas of what your character could look like to help you brainstorm. But the character concept must be hand drawn. This drawing is outline only- no need for coloring the characters, shading, or high detail. You may use any pen, pencil or marker (colored black or grey) on any color paper (we encourage your country colors). We also require that you film your hand drawing the character. You do not need to show your face but you are welcome to do so if you want to associate your likness wirh our project publically. Create a video of your hand drawing from start to finish, no timelapses, just a continuous long video. Please sign the name of your country in your native language. You may sign your name as well or doodle decorations, country flag, etc. but you can complete the job with a just the character sketch, country name written, and a video of your hand drawing the character. Please also let us know the age you've decided for your unique character. Who are the characters representing your countries: -Children ages 6 to 17 (up to you to choose) -Gender is your choice -in the plot these characters are chosen because they have the world's biggest hearts Artistic Style/Inspiration: -Pixar/Disney, cute, semi realistic body shapes -Five fingers
