ASIFA-Hollywood offers forums and events for professional members to develop and exchange ideas and discuss trends. It also provides opportunities for students and fans to interact with professionals and learn about exciting new developments as well as celebrate the pioneers who paved the way. ASIFA-Hollywood membership is available in several levels.
Professional Membership ($175/year): Individual and out of the United States. Pro-level entitles a qualified member to vote and also submit nominees for the Annie Awards (Nominees themselves do not have to be ASIFA members, but their submitters do.) Besides the other benefits of membership, Pros are also entitled to screeners that are provided by the studios.
Corporate Membership is a great way to give an important benefit to your valued employees. Each member, either Pro or Associate, will receive news and information on upcoming events, seminars and screenings throughout the year. Qualified professional members may also vote in the Annie Awards. Corporate members are also recognized throughout the year on our email blasts and website, as well as the annual Annie Award program. Corporate Memberships start at $7,500. In the simplest iteration, this would cover about 43 Pro-level memberships at $175 per member. It is important to note that a corporate membership can be made up of a combination of Pro and Associate members. In all cases, the threshold to be listed as a Corporate Member on our websites, eblasts and Annie program book remains $7,500.
Associate Membership ($75/year): Studio Support and Enthusiasts. This level is designed for aficionados and people in the industry who want to be members but do not qualify as production pros (e.g.: legal department, human resources, office management, etc.). Associate members cannot vote in the Annie Awards and cannot submit entries, although they can serve as submission coordinators (ie: organizing paperwork, entry materials, etc.). However, submissions must be signed by a Pro-level member.
Student Membership ($20/year)
Please note the Student terms: (a) Membership covers a one-year period (365 days from sign-up), (b) includes one discounted student film submission per year to the Annie Awards and (c) available to current students of an accredited university animation program (Students must submit a current college/university ID or other verifiable enrollment document with their membership application).
Patron Membership ($225/year): Professionals Only.
Generally, patron memberships are individual rather than corporate. This membership includes all benefits listed under Professional Membership, and the additional support assists ASIFA-Hollywood with its many programs and initiatives.
Member benefits as an individual
So What Does ASIFA-Hollywood Do? If you love animation, you’ll find lots to do as a member. Here are just a few of our ongoing projects and programs.
MEMBER EVENTS AND SCREENINGS
Throughout the year, we host a packed calendar of events, including screenings of rare cartoons, members only sneak peeks at current animated features and shows, lectures and workshops by noted animation professionals and social networking meetings. For up to date info on our activities, bookmark our Calendar of Events for more info.
SPECIAL EVENTS
ASIFA-Hollywood is at the forefront of the Los Angeles animation scene. We preserve films in danger of being lost to nitrate deterioration through our Animated Film Preservation Project. We contribute to animation’s educational standards and resources via our very lively Animation Educators Forum. We also maintain a charitable fund called The Animation Aid Foundation, and foster education through the Stephen Bosustow and Art Babbitt Educational Endowment Funds.
THE ANNIE AWARDS
First held in 1972, the Annie Awards have grown to become animation’s highest honor. The Annies are dedicated to honoring the best animated films of the year, as well as recognizing individual achievement. Qualified members of ASIFA-Hollywood may vote for the winners. See AnnieAwards.org for more info. Our annual membership drive is tied to the Annies Awards and encourages individuals and corporation to join or re-enroll in order to enjoy award season benefits.
