The 11th 1minute Projection Mapping Competition, a competition of projection mapping works of 1 minute to 1 minute and 59 seconds, will be held again this year.
Competition Theme: “LINK”
This international competition is not only one of the industry’s leading contest events, but also a creative venue for top creators from around the world and Japan.
Last year’s 10th competition received 241 entries from 55 countries and regions around the world.
In 2023, we are again calling for video works from creators around the world!
For details, please see below.
【 The 11th Competition Theme 】
“LINK”
In many places of the world, the word “divided” has come to abound in terms of politics, economics, poverty, energy issues, and so on.
However, the human creature needs to be connected, and now is the time to connect and link various things. People, countries, and issues are connected, and these connections lead to the future and happiness. The problems and issues that are happening around the world are not limited to specific countries, but are something that all people must think about and “synchronize” on a global scale, transcending borders and races.
The theme of this year’s competition, “LINK,” is to “connect” and “synchronize” various things from small “connections” around us to the future with the creators’ sense.
We expect works that connect all areas such as “country,” “era,” “people,” “culture,” “technology,” “expression,” “society,” “issues,” “future,” and “potential,” and that also have diversity and value as visual expressions.
Please “LINK” to the world and to the hearts of the audience with your projection mapping expression.
