When October would roll around, I would always announce or introduce students to the 24 Hour Animation Contest. Below is a video explaining how the contest all began by Aubry Mintz while teaching at CSULB. The contest survived Covid by continuing in 2020 and once again, the contest is here for October 2021.

As Faculty, I would only be their for moral support and make sure the students were given a dinner break as well as some sort of breakfast for the next day to keep them fed and watered. I felt it was a way to give the students experience in creating a :30 animated film based on a written prompt where they had 24 hours to produce it.
Since that time, many studios have donated prizes and support the contest. This year the registration deadline for teams is on WEDNESDAY Oct 13th 2021 at 11:59pm PST and the Competition Begins: October 15, 2021 3pm PST
