Submissions to the competition - funded by Google and EA, and held in association with BBC 21CC and cs4fn - are now open, and students aged between seven and 19 are invited to send in their computer animated short films for judging.

Entries can be created by individuals or by teams of up to four, and animations must be no longer than a minute long.
