- Sheep - The BAA sting brief is to create something that contains one (or more) sheep with extra points for weaving in references to animation and or the UK. It doesn’t have to be the BAA sheep logo, it can be any sheep or lots of sheep, and you can do with them as you will, as long as you aim to entertain the BAA audience in a quirky, inventive way. No cliche's and nothing sweary or smutty. Prize-winning artwork from past years can be seen here: https://www.britishanimationawards.com/galleries/prize-artwork/
- Duration - The Sting Ident should be between 4 – 25 seconds in duration
- Technique - There are no constraints on technique, genre or style as long as it is animated. Just remember – originality is what the BAAs are after – look at the awards artworks for inspiration, but don’t copy them. Be clever and original. Be quirky and inventive. Be daring and dangerous. Just don’t be rude and crude.
