We are seeking artists who have postponed traditional education or training programs, as well as past, current, or graduated art school students, high school seniors who are considering art school, and international talent.

Candidates submit their portfolio online for review. At ECAA we conduct blind portfolio reviews to avoid biases and promote diversity. Your personal information will not appear on any of the artwork being judged by our admissions department. Your age, gender, religion, race or financial circumstances are none of our concern.

ROUND THREE
The talent pool will be narrowed down to 100 candidates. Each of these individuals will submit a 5 minutes video cover letters which will be reviewed by a panel of non-biased, third-party psychologists & recruiters to determine their ability to learn, grow, fit in a group, and challenge their expectations and motivation to both join our program and work in the Gaming, Animation or VFX industries.
