As long as you follow the rules and have in mind the Winning criteria, you can come up with anything.
Are there also things for second place?
Oh, also! Are we allowed to choose & work with partners?

No price, just recognition.
No. Submissions must belong to an individual.

Wow, this contest looks amazing!
What if one was to use audio/ music that they didn’t make (with permission of course), would it count?
I might also be not much of a great animator (not to mention the touchpad), so don’t expect me to join, but it would still be a pleasure to see what cool stuff people will make :)

You might win, you have good art.
Good question… I’m not expecting original audio from anyone… just free to use from youtube or other websites… This is an animation contest not an audio contest… but it is good for multimedia creators to get use to chose audio for their projects…

The moderators have access to PMing users, and can see their emails. What follows, presumably, is something from there.

Yes, the price is a virtual code that you redeem. It will sent to the winner in a private message.
Just use a free to use music that goes with your animation.

Yes I believe a 24 fps should work

i guess i can also add more on what 12 fps means.
the editor’s framerate has to be set to 12 or more fps. that part’s obvious.
the other thing jovanny means here is that you don’t need to draw a unique frame every time. for example, if someone is just looking out a window for 2 seconds, you don’t need 24 completely different frames of looking out a window, just stretch a single frame out to last 2 seconds.
third thing, don’t take advantage of what jovanny said and make every frame 3 frames long or something and make the animation effectively 4 fps. that completely ruins the point.
if you’re one of those “animatic” people who use much fewer frames but spend much more effort on the drawings, i suggest that at least in a few places you make smoother animation. i say this because one person’s high effort drawing can be full-blown anime while someone else’s high effort drawing can be 15-ish brush strokes and/or a bunch of shapes. (and I’m not pointing fingers at anyone, i mean have you seen my OC? my face is literally 4 brush strokes)

@awc95014 is totally right. All these things are usually reflected at the final product. I would say at the end whatever technique people use is fine as long as the final product looks consistent and well integrated with a theme song or/and sounds.

I have a good idea for something like an interactive animation. Is it allowed?
It is. As long as the sum of all the animation sequences last more than 30 seconds, but no extra points for the interactivity. It is an animation contest at the end of the day.
I was going to ask how to submit our animation (if a video or eternal html would be ok) when I read again the rules
For my animation I’m making a good deal of components in inkscape and import in wickeditor so I guess I’m out (rule 6)
Still it’s a great initiative! Hope to hear soon good news from wickeditor
Can I use editing softwares to add sounds and some filters to the animation
No, or at least not for the competition. What we will evaluating is a wick file, nothing else.
Sounds and Music can be added to the Wick Editor. You can use a 3rd party software to edit sounds or produce them, but is not required. I recommend to use “free to use” music and/or sounds that are already created.
