The ‘rock stars’ of the industry – the stars of motion09. Once a year, the top animators, motion graphics artists, title designers, visual effects (VFX) artists and broadcast designers come together to share their skills, work, and professional insights. motion09 is an event that inspires.
To ensure the ultimate experience, we limit motion to 360 participants – creating a ‘full-circle of inspiration.’ Now, you have the opportunity to be one of the select 360.
We’re going to have a little scavenger hunt. All you need to do, is complete these steps…
1. Follow @motion09 on Twitter – we’ll follow you back!
2. Look for a message @motion09 Tweeted on 06.18.09 about this contest. When you find it, re-tweet it.
3. Find two ‘rock stars’ who will be speaking at motion09 on Twitter. Get their Twitter IDs and follow them.
4. After you find two of the ‘rock stars’ tweet a message to your followers. The message can say anything you want… but must include:
@motion09
@rock-star1 (replace this with their actual Twitter ID)
@rock-star2 (replace this with their actual Twitter ID)
#animation
#motiongraphics
#vfx
That will leave you with approximately 75-80 characters to play with. Creativity is encouraged…and will be rewarded!
5. Each Tweet you send is considered an entry. We’ll be able to track who’s entered through the @motion09 tag. You can enter once a day – until the contest ends. But…each Tweet you send must be different. Each Tweet has to contain all of the tags listed in step 4, but your messages need to be . . . creatively unique!
…an {m}ticket! This is our full-conference-with-all-the-frills ticket… check it out. It’s a $699 value!
motion is all about creativity . . . so your creativity’s going to weigh in big! Here’s how the point system will work:
- one point for following us on Twitter
– one point for re-tweeting our Tweet announcing this contest
– one point each for up to two motion09 ‘rock-stars’ you find on Twitter
Additionally, each of your Tweets will be ranked by the motion team as follows:
- 5 points: that was amazingly creative!
– 3 points: there’s definitely potential here.
– 1 points: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz…are you talking to me?
The points are added up, and the one with the most points by midnight on the 4th of July – wins!
Oh yeah -– the winner will be announced by @motion09 on Twitter, Sunday, July 5th at noon (MDT | GMT-6). The winner will have 48 hours to claim their prize by Tweeting the following:
“I won an {m}ticket on #motion.tv for being ‘the most creative’! I’ll be attending @motion09 in ABQ, NM October 11-14. See you there!”
*the small print: by participating in this contest, you are agreeing to the following:
– any decisions made by the motion team are final
– motion will not be liable for anything – after all, this is just a game
and…if you are the winner, motion will be writing an article about you!
Animators, motion graphic artists, visual effects artists, screen designers, title designers – here’s your chance to show the world your work.
A shout-out to the rockstars of motion09, attendees, volunteers and sponsors of motion. You are what motion is all about!

This will completely annoy my followers by hammering them with tweets. How about one entry per person? Learn something from the #squarespace contest.

Hi! Thanks for your comments. We are always opened to suggestions. squarespace’s contest rules say “You may enter contest as many times as you’d like via Twitter”. So while a person can enter once and still have a chance to win, they will have more chances, the more time they tweet.
Our contest actually limits it to one tweet a day – potentially way less tweets will go out than the squarespace contests.
Thanks for your feedback. Have ideas for a future contest? Let us know!
