Animation and Cartoons are Cousins
Here at Escape Studios we encourage all our students to enter.  The ability to sketch up a gag and make it funny is a highly useful skill for an animator.  And, of course, for a storyboard artist.

Free to Enter
Entry into the Young Cartoonist of the Year Competition is free. You can read more about the Young Cartoonist of the Year Competition here at the official page, and also at Wikipedia
