Make it Bounce
50 Entries, 23 Prizes
In the Make it Bounce Visual Effects Student Contest, we’re challenging you to create a digital scene or animation that captures the energy, motion, and impact of bouncing.
From rubber balls, trampolines, and basketballs to elastic creatures, kinetic typography, or imagined worlds that recoil and rebound, we want to see how you bring the idea of bouncing to life. We’re looking for entries that are imaginative, visually striking, technically impressive, and supported by a well-documented creative process. You might explore realistic physics, exaggerated cartoon motion, chain reactions, rhythmic motion studies, or surreal environments where every surface responds with unexpected elasticity.
The grand prize winner of the Make it Bounce Visual Effects Student Contest will receive a X1C Bambu 3D printer combo, giving you the opportunity to transform your digital creations into tangible designs and bring digital motion into the physical world. In addition, we’ll award two special prizes: the Autodesk Judges' Prize, recognizing outstanding use of Autodesk software within the project, and the Animation Judges' Prize, honoring exceptional skill and creativity in animation. Additional gift card prizes will be awarded across multiple levels to celebrate entries that demonstrate ingenuity and excellence in visual effects.
Get ready to bring the energy, amplify the motion, and make it bounce. This is your moment to showcase your skills and gain well-deserved recognition.
*Please note that this contest is only open to US residents.
