Template:Short description Template:Infobox Film Festival
World Festival of Animated Film Zagreb (Template:Langx), best known as Animafest Zagreb, is a film festival entirely dedicated to animated film held annually in Zagreb, Croatia.[1] Initiated by the International Animated Film Association (ASIFA), the event was established in 1972.[2] Animafest is the second oldest animation festival in the World, after the Annecy International Animated Film Festival (established in 1960).[3]
The idea to create the event came about because of the worldwide acclaim of animated shorts produced by authors belonging to the Zagreb School of Animated Films in the 1950s and 1960s. Zagreb's candidacy for holding a permanent animated film festival was accepted at the 1969 ASIFA meeting in London.
Festival awards include prizes given in the Short film Competition, Feature film Competition, Student Film Competition, Children Films, Site-specific competition and Croatian competition. Its Prize for "Best First Production Apart from Educational Institutions" is named in honour of Zlatko Grgić. The Lifetime Achievement Award, which is unique for animation film festivals, was established in 1986. An award for outstanding contribution to the theory of animation was added in 2002.[3]
Grand Prize winners
From 1972 to 2004 Animafest was a biennial event focused on animated short films, held in even years, with the sole exception of 1976, when it was cancelled. From 2005 to 2015 the festival became an annual event, with feature film editions introduced and held in odd years, in between the short film editions. In 2015 the shorts and features were merged into one annual event.

- A. <templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^ In 1976 the festival was cancelled because of the earlier agreement that the three main ASIFA-sponsored festivals (at Annecy, Zagreb and Mamaia, Romania) would be held in three-year cycles, with Mamaia scheduled to take place in 1976. However, Romanian organizers cancelled the event at the last minute. In 1977 the regular festival at Annecy was held and the usual biennial cycle resumed, with Zagreb and Annecy taking turns.[8]
- B. <templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^ Although Animafest was held in 1982 and 1986, no Grand Prizes were awarded in these two editions.[9][10]
- C. <templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>^ Animafest 2020 edition was held live in Zagreb, but due to coronavirus pandemic restrictions, it was decided for an edition without a Feature Film Competition.
