New Ways for Winners to Shine

The Collision Awards return for their second year with even more exciting ways to recognize and celebrate excellence in Animation and Motion Design. Winners will be announced on July 22, 2025 and honored in traditional ways—with announcements shared via email, press releases, our global partners, and prominently showcased in our online Winners Gallery. But this year, we’re expanding the celebration even further, with new, high-impact opportunities to highlight the work and talent of our honorees.

In collaboration with the long-established Telly Awards, this year’s Collision winners will benefit from inclusion in a new touring screening series. Select honorees will have their work featured in live events held across seven U.S. cities, offering a rare opportunity for creators to connect with peers, agencies, studios, and industry leaders. These screenings, a staple of the Telly Awards’ global event calendar, are known for bringing together creative communities for an evening of short-form excellence and networking. For Collision winners, this means greater exposure, deeper engagement, and the chance to celebrate their work in front of live, enthusiastic audiences.

The Collision Awards were launched by the team behind The Telly Awards to create a platform solely dedicated to honoring animation and motion design in all its forms. In partnership with industry leaders such as Animation Magazine, SIGGRAPH ACM London, Epic Games, and VIEW Conference, the Collision Awards are a recognition of the technical skill and boundless creativity driving the field today. From stop-motion and anime to digital XR experiences and commercials, the Collision Awards aim to elevate every corner of the medium—now with more ways than ever to celebrate.
