Gen Sol Animation Series “The Heist” Advances to the Finalist Round of the 2024 Animation Project Development Competition
The original animation series The Heist has advanced to the finalist round (long-form category) of the 2024 Animation Project Development Competition, organized by the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA).
The competition aims to discover and nurture high-quality animation projects for young adult and adult audiences, responding to rapid changes in the global media and OTT-driven content landscape. In 2024, the program received 121 submissions nationwide, including 59 long-form projects, making the selection process highly competitive.
Heist successfully passed the preliminary evaluation (first round) and was selected as one of only 12 long-form projects invited to advance to the final review stage. The project was evaluated based on concept originality, narrative completeness, and feasibility for production and future commercialization.
Although the project was not included among the final award recipients, advancing to the finalist round represents a significant milestone since The Heist was the only Web3 content project. The recognition highlights the project’s creative strength and its potential for further development as a long-form animated series intended for a global audience.
This achievement reinforces the creative direction behind Heist and marks an important step in its ongoing development, positioning the project for future opportunities in animation production, partnerships, and international markets.
