Are you completely obsessed with movies like TOY STORY, FROZEN, AND DESPICABLE ME?  Do you appreciate the stunning art of 3D/CG Character Design?  

Well, we’re looking to expand our 3D Character design roster and need your help! We need you to refer your friend, colleague, sister, cousin, uncle, student, boss – anyone who has the chops to create a kick-ass 3D character design.

Interested? Please read below for more information:

• The referrals will be judged on the following criteria: storytelling, production quality, and overall style.
• If you are a 3D Character Designer who has won on Tongal, you can still earn $250 by referring one of your talented friends if he/she has not won on Tongal.
• If you are a 3D Character Designer who has not won on Tongal, you CAN refer yourself!
• If more than one individual submits the same referral, the first to submit will be considered the winner.
• If you submit an individual who also submits himself/herself, then the referred individual will be considered the winner.

What you need to submit:

• Text: 500 characters or less telling us why the 3D Character Designer you are referring is awesome.
