Support Us

At Manchester Animation Festival, we rely on sponsors and in-kind support to keep the festival alive, growing and evolving. As we grow in scale, reach new audiences, increase access to diverse groups and make people aware of the cultural power and significance of animated films, we are looking to welcome new supporters and partners to join us on our journey.

MAF sponsorship provides a brilliant way to connect with the animation community; whether enhancing brand awareness, showcasing products and services or connecting with industry and talent – there is nowhere better to reach anyone from industry VIPs to emerging talent, award winning animation professionals and everyone in between! MAF has a strong brand and is trusted among those who attend the Festival. We’re keen to help you share what you have to offer with our audience and to help you find future collaborators.

Set sponsorship packages are available and can be tailored to your company’s requirements, and developed in line with our festival programme each year.

By supporting the work we do at MAF you’re also supporting the animation community of professionals, industry insiders, academics and the general public as they all come together for the UK’s biggest celebration of animation. We’re looking forward to bringing together the animation community again this year and hope you can join us too!

Manchester Animation Festival would like to thank everyone who has sponsored the festival over the last ten years.
