About the nomination

The aim of this nomination is to create an event idea that has never been thought of before.

10 top-tier event agencies are seeking new specialists and are ready to offer internships or the opportunity to bring your unique event idea to life. This could be a hybrid of the online and offline worlds, an implantation of technology and art, but it must be a game-changer in event design. With the rise of various technologies in project culture, dozens of events are happening every day. Professionals are actively seeking unconventional formats for cultural and educational events, festivals, low-key events, immersive shows, performances, fashion shows, and business events, where the audience experience is a combination of utility and beauty. The experience industry needs new formats.

Terms and requirements

Projects that have been developed and yet to be implemented must have visualizations (references, sketches, set designs, costumes, navigation, scripts, programs, etc.) and be well-thought-out for future implementation (location, region, partners, team, resources, budget, etc.).

Projects that have already been implemented are also eligible to participate in the competition, but they do not have the prerogative to be evaluated by the jury or shortlisted.

The mission of the competition is to bring together original, artistically stylish, and effective projects aimed at developing the experience industry and to expand event design formats at the intersection of various art and technology genres.
