Now in its sixth year, Animation Generation is an exciting, nationwide initiative sponsored by Cartoon Network that’s designed to promote the art of illustration and celebrating imagination. All learners need do to enter the competition is draw a poster that represents Cartoon Network as a world where anything can happen, absolutely nothing is impossible and where imaginations run wild.

For example, the poster entries could feature one or more of Cartoon Network's well-known 'stars' in any sport/active situation – such as playing in a park, visiting the swimming pool, playing sport, or even 'at home' in their own Cartoon Network world, like the Powerpuff Girls at ballet, or Ben 10 fighting the bad guys.

There's only one condition: their work must be original, and as imaginative as possible. The top three entries in each of three age groups (6- to 8-years-old; 9- to 11-years-old; and 12- to 14-years-old) will be shown on Cartoon Network, giving the winning learners the thrill of having their artwork displayed throughout South Africa.

The primary aim of Animation Generation is to teach learners how to draw cartoon characters – an art form that requires a completely different set of skills anything they will have experienced previously.
