To highlight and celebrate India's innovative spirit the theme for Animate 2024 was “Celebrating India's Innovation”. The participants had to showcase a problem, the action taken, and the innovative solution presented.
The registrations for Animate 2024 started on 18 March 2024. Due to examinations and other academic commitments f the participants the deadline for the submission of completed animations was extended till 23 June 2024. Thus, students got around 3 months to learn (if not already familiar with the software) and create the animation. The submitted animations were judged in two stages, one for the technical aspects and the second on the creative and innovative aspects. Out of the 116 animations submitted 35 animations were send for the second round of evaluations and the winners were decided.
