Second Annual Andreas Deja Scholarship Application

The Andreas Deja Scholarship, named after Disney animation legend and director of “Mushka,” has announced details of its second annual event.

This year's challenge, called “The Perfect Fit-,” challenges animators to create a hand-drawn animation of a character struggling to fit inside a coat or jacket, revealing that the item is too big or too small. Details of the assignment can be found in the image at the bottom of this article.
