FESTIVALAbout Hiroshima Animation Season

The Hiroshima Animation Season (HAS) is an international animation film festival that has been held biennially since August 2022. It is the only Academy AwardR-qualifying film festival in Japan dedicated solely to animation. The festival is organized around three main pillars: the Competition, which determines the Grand Prix and other prizes from entries submitted by filmmakers across the globe; the Awards, which honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the animation world in the Pan-Pacific and Asia regions; and the Academy, which connects animation with education. The Hiroshima Animation Season 2026 will take place from August 19 to 23, 2026, at JMS Aster Plaza and other venues.
