The International Animation, Video Games and New Media Market presents a new \u201cgroundbreaking\u201d image, says director Jos\u00e9 Luis Farias. For this edition, illustrator and conceptual artist Igor Heras created a design influenced by gothic horror and monsters, as well as the style and colors of Japanese posters. \u201cI wanted to emphasize that there is also a part of animation focused on adult audiences, without overlooking, of course, all the other elements that make up the festival,\u201d says Heras.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The artist is a key member of the Monster Pit studio, which has 15 years\u2019 experience working in the video games, animation, film, television series, board games, advertising and publishing industries. Among their clients are leading international companies, including Konami, Nintendo, HBO, Disney, and Games Workshop. They have participated in the development of projects such as Castlevania Lords of Shadows, 30 Monedas, Toy Story 4 o Warhammer The Horus Heresy: Legions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KEY VENUES IN VALENCIA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Valencia will once again be the meeting point for the animation sector at the start of fall 2025. This key event for the animation and video game sector will feature Las Naves and La Mutant as reference points for conferences, WFest (the short film competition), and professional activities. Other venues and programming will be revealed in the coming weeks.<br \/>\nLas Naves is cementing its role as a location for conferences and competition screenings for the short film contest (WFest). This center perfectly adapts to the event\u2019s needs thanks to its versatile nature as a social and urban innovation hub.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, La Mutant, which is connected to Las Naves, will join in 2025 for the remainder of the professional events. This is a live arts space and the driving force behind a new cultural scene in the Grau neighborhood. \u201cIt\u2019s a perfect combination for Weird Market. Our innovative, multidisciplinary identity aligns perfectly with the philosophy of both venues,\u201d said Farias.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CALL FOR PROJECTS FOCUSED ON IPs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This year\u2019s main innovation in the projects section is the structure of the call. With the aim of focusing on the value of IPs, regardless of their origin, Weird Market is bringing them together in a single call for European IP projects. Projects in animation (including feature films, short films, series, web series and social media series\u2014the latter three are open exceptionally to international submissions), video games, transmedia, board games and comics can be submitted at any stage of production: pre-production, production or finished.<\/p>\n<p>Submissions will be evaluated based on creativity and emphasis on intellectual property. An initial selection will be published in the Weird Market catalogue, which reaches over 7,000 industry professionals each year through online distribution and the event\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p>A second selection will choose the projects that will be presented by their creators in Valencia during the market.<\/p>\n<p>Submissions are being received until August 11, with no registration fee. Selected projects will be eligible to win some of the following awards: Movistar Plus+ Short Project Award, RTVE \u2013 Weird Market Talent Award for Best Animation Short Film Project, RTVE Awards for Best Video Game Project, Most Innovative Video Game Project, and Weird Plus Video Game, as well as the Annecy-MIFA 2025 Free Registration for Best Young Creator Series Project.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-46278\" src=\"https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cartel-weird-baja-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"491\" height=\"869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cartel-weird-baja-1.jpg 1130w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cartel-weird-baja-1-170x300.jpg 170w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cartel-weird-baja-1-582x1030.jpg 582w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cartel-weird-baja-1-768x1359.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cartel-weird-baja-1-868x1536.jpg 868w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cartel-weird-baja-1-848x1500.jpg 848w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cartel-weird-baja-1-398x705.jpg 398w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cartel-weird-baja-1-450x796.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 17th edition of Weird Market is primarily sponsored by Creative Europe MEDIA, the Valencia City Council, Valencia Innovation Capital, and the participation of Acci\u00f3n Cultural Espa\u00f1ola through the Program for the Internationalization of Spanish Culture (PICE).
