Founded in the year 2000, the Nickelodeon Writing Program is a full-time, paid, yearlong development Program for television comedy writers with unique voices and fresh perspectives. Join us at the studio in Burbank for classes and workshops to sharpen your skills, executive mentorship and networking to build your professional relationships, and the opportunity to work in the iconic live-action and animation writers’ rooms at Nick. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dedicate yourself to the craft of writing and build your career from the ground up.
The Nick Writing Program is not a writing contest – It’s a launching pad for emerging creatives. If you bring the unique voice and innovative ideas for kids’ and family content, we’ll help you launch a career with all the tools you’ll need to succeed in the industry for years to come.
We need your talent and perspective, so come tell us your story!
Please note: all submission and notification dates are subject to change.
We can’t create the most awesome kids’ content in the world without the most awesome artists in the world.
The Nickelodeon Artist Program is a 6-month, full-time paid talent development program for aspiring pre-production artists. We seek out talented designers, painters, story artists, and CG generalists with diverse voices from underrepresented communities, with the goal of mentoring, developing, and staffing the next generation of inclusive storytellers and content creators.
The Nick Artist Program is designed to kick-start the journey of career-ready artists! If you’re ready for the SLIME of your life, come join us at the Nick Animation Studio.
Please note: All dates are subject to change.
We’re always on the lookout for fresh new perspectives and voices who are also curious to learn…and be a SPONGE! Come join us and make an impact!

Welcome to “The Other Side” 🔮👻 The new short from Santiago of the Seas creator, @bru.ha.ha.ha, is a finalist for Best US Animated Film Short at #LALIFF “The Other Side is a conjuring of my love for all things paranormal and the desire to celebrate the cradle of Latin-Caribbean mysticism that I grew up in. Within our community, there’s a deep-rooted appreciation for stories like these, but it’s rare to find ourselves reflected in them, even less so to have the chance to authentically shape them. This short aims to change that narrative.” - Niki Lopez 🐐 The short film comes from our Intergalactic Shorts Program which aims to discover and showcase content from new voices and diverse creators.
