The Monk Studios Animation Contest is an animation competition organized by The Monk Studios, an award-winning animation and visual effects studio based in Thailand. For instance, The Monk Studios Animation Contest 2022 challenged university students to create animation in the theme "The Spirit of Northern Thailand" within a 30-second timeframe, with participants from various Thai universities competing. The contest is distinct from larger film festivals where The Monk Studios might showcase their work, such as the Annecy Festival.
