The History of Stickers with the MOSTICK Festival by Irma Lukina and Emilia Shendrik

About the nomination

We are oversaturated with information, and infographics—one of the clearest ways to make sense of it—have become a natural response. Motion design does the same, reflecting the pace and flexibility of modern life.

It’s no wonder explainer videos, where these two approaches come together, are in high demand across education, entertainment, and commercial media.

We welcome any videos that use editing, animation, and sound to tell the story of a real phenomenon, explain a principle, or clearly visualize and compare data.

Both standalone videos and series projects are accepted.

Please review the nomination guidelines before submitting your entry.
