Are you a closet animator, bursting with creativity? Well why not take part in our new competition to find the best short training animation using the free online animation program, XtraNormal. Just watch the short film below and be in with a chance of winning some great goodies including a bottle of wine and a personalised Photo Book, courtesy of PhotoBox.

To take part, you need to sign up to XtraNormal - it's free and only takes a few minutes to set up. Once you have registered, you can start making your movie.

The rules

Animated movies must be no longer than one minute in length and have some connection to training: it might be a coaching conundrum, it could be a trainer's nightmare, it could be top tips for motivating a team, whatever you want.

Entries are made by emailing editor@trainingzone.co.uk and sending through the link to your film. You can enter as many films as you like.

There will be three shortlisted films, which will be put to the community vote.

The deadline for film submissions is 17:00 (GMT) on Thursday 21st January 2010.

The winning film will be run and promoted on site and via Twitter and LinkedIn and the winner will be announced in a subsequent ebulletin.

The prize

The winner will receive a bottle of wine and a Photobox Photo Book courtesy of PhotoBox, Europe’s leading personal publishing and photo printing service. A Photo Book is a personalised book created with your own digital photographs or scanned photos capturing your own memories; weddings, christenings, births, graduation, honeymoons whatever you want to remember. You can also add your own personal quotes to your book - making it a totally unique present.

Good luck and be creative!
