Entries now open for Licensing Expo’s License This! competition

Entries are now open for Licensing Expo’s License This! competition.

The event aims to help designers, illustrators and animators break into the licensing industry, with two categories available to submit concepts into: Character & Animation and Brand & Design.

The competition is free to enter online; with a cut-off date of Friday, March 25th. The judges are looking for new, creative concepts which have the potential to be applied across multiple product categories.

This year will mark the first time that the finale of License This! will take place in front of a live audience, with the finale hosted at Licensing Expo in Las Vegas on May 26th.

“License This! does a fantastic job of bringing together innovation and opportunity by helping designers, illustrators and animators to succeed in the wonderful world of licensing,” said judge Steven Ekstract.

“The creativity of last year’s License This! entrants was a joy to behold, so I’m really looking forward to viewing this year’s entries and meeting the finalists in person at Licensing Expo for the first time in May.”

Each category winner will receive:
· Free-of-charge 100 sq ft booth at Licensing Expo 2023 worth $2,500
· One-year Licensing International membership worth $1,000 for a small business
· One-year Products of Change membership, worth up to $450 for a small business
