Class of 2021

Eligibility:

Video artists: do you want your work shown on the Piccadilly Lights?

As part of Circa and Dazed’s Class of 2021, 30 artists will get free studio access, have their work displayed on the iconic London screen, and one finalist will be selected by a special guest judge to win £30k

As we tiptoe into life post-rona, the creative industries are facing a period of reckoning. Will the arts continue to operate within the musty hierarchies of yesteryear, or will fresh paths be forged, taking heed of all the valuable lessons from the past 12 months?

With this in mind, digital arts platform Circa and Dazed are launching Class of 2021. This brand new initiative invites budding video artists from all over the world to submit a two-and-a-half minute short film in response to the theme ‘Communion’, as set by interdisciplinary artist Angel Rose, and judged by a surprise special guest.

Prize Summary: 
Win £30,000
Prizes Details: 

30 emerging artists will be given the opportunity to exhibit their work on some of the world’s most iconic screens. Come September, London’s Piccadilly Circus, K-Pop Square in Seoul, and Shinjuku in Tokyo will be ablaze with the winning cohort’s work, each of whom will take over the screens for the 30 days of the month. Participants will, of course, be further platformed to an audience of millions across Dazed’s social media channels, and will gain access to the Dazed Space, a new multimedia studio complex in London. But that’s not all – one lucky finalist will receive a #CIRCAECONOMY prize of £30,000 to help kick start their career.
