For the pitches you chose to put into production, when will you be in contact with the person who submitted it?

We will be in contact with everyone who submitted hopefully by early June. Thanks!

Kipp is an average teen with an average job, an average angry boss, and an average haircut. But all that is about to change! Well…maybe not the haircut. Voiced by the one and only, Drake Bell!

Final Call for Nickelodeon’s 2016 Animated Shorts Program, Deadline for submissions is April15th.  Nickshortspitches.com

Is it OK if my storyboard is a couple of seconds over 3 minutes (3 mins and 20 secs) or is the limit 3 minutes on the dot?

It’s okay for your boards to be long in the pitching process.  Final shorts do need to be 3 minutes or less, but there will plenty of opportunity to rework things should your short pitch get picked.

Ok, here is another question. Are these shorts pilots? Do you ever think about making one a show?

The shorts are not meant to be pilots.  They let us take creative risks we cannot normally make, but we definitely put shorts we think have potential into series development.  Loud House was a short created by Chris Savino in the 2013 program, and is now a series that is premiering in May!

Hi, I was just curious will there be personal response to each animated short idea submission? Thanks :)

We personally review every submission, and individually email every person who submits.  Unfortunately due to the amount of submissions we cannot provide personalized feedback to everybody, but we try to provide feedback to as many people as possible.
