We’re looking to expand our roster of 3D Character Designers and need your help!  We’re looking for you to refer FIVE (5) super talented 3D Character Designers (who have NEVER won on Tongal) to our site.

Are you completely obsessed with movies like TOY STORY, FROZEN, AND DESPICABLE ME?  Do you appreciate the stunning art of 3D/CG Character Design?  

Well, we’re looking to expand our 3D Character design roster and need your help! We need you to refer your friend, colleague, sister, cousin, uncle, student, boss – anyone who has the chops to create a kick-ass 3D character design.

Interested? Please read below for more information:

• The referrals will be judged on the following criteria: storytelling, production quality, and overall style.
• If you are a 3D Character Designer who has won on Tongal, you can still earn $250 by referring one of your talented friends if he/she has not won on Tongal.
• If you are a 3D Character Designer who has not won on Tongal, you CAN refer yourself!
• If more than one individual submits the same referral, the first to submit will be considered the winner.
• If you submit an individual who also submits himself/herself, then the referred individual will be considered the winner.

What you need to submit:

• Text: 500 characters or less telling us why the 3D Character Designer you are referring is awesome.
• Links to Past Work / Artist Portfolio:  We want you to link to the best 3D Character Design work that will give us a good idea of what he/she is capable of creating.
