     Dear Sirs,

     It is our pleasure to invite you to CONFIA 2012, the International 
Conference on Illustration and Animation: aligning drawing, illustration 
and animation, as well as art theory as it applies to illustration and 
animation.

     Organized by the Department of Design of the Polytechnic Institute 
of Cávado and Ave under the auspices of the Masters in Illustration and 
Animation, CONFIA intends to be a pivotal moment in the contemporary 
discussion of these areas, which have a long tradition and, at the same 
time, are pioneers in technological innovation. We intend to broadly 
explore the multidisciplinary space that includes illustration and the 
animated image, from the construction of the narrative to character 
development, from art theory to critical reflection on the objects that 
populate the market and the industry. The conference seeks quality 
original submissions from the academic community, artists, industry, and 
the market as well.

     All accepted full papers will be published in the conference 
proceedings (with ISBN).

Submission Procedure:
     Researchers and those working in the field are invited to submit 
their manuscripts electronically as an email attachment in word or PDF 
format to  secretariat_confia at ipca.pt  by no later than August 31, 2012.
     Submitted papers will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.
     Only original contributions will be accepted.
