We support most formats including JPG, PNG, GIF, and animated GIF. The maximum file size permitted will depend on the format, but as a guide banners should be no larger than 120kb. We can supply pre-defined templates for some of our banner options, if requested.
Artwork, along with the URL link, should be emailed to aaron@animation-festivals.com no later than 5 working days before the first day of the agreed advertising period.
All invoices are due upon receipt. Payment details will be listed on the supplied invoice (we accept Paypal or bank transfers). We regret that we cannot publish a banner before payment has been made.
- How do we collaborate with festivals?
If you are a festival and would be interested in a media partnership with us, we are always open to collaborating in this way. Typically, we offer a ‘Featured Festival’ panel on our homepage or a sidebar banner in return for a space in your promotional materials (either print or web based).
However, we are completely open to suggestions and negotiations here and we like to explore the best possible promotion for both parties.
