For digital exhibitors, we’re looking for work that redefines what it means to create human-centered experiences in virtual spaces. This year’s theme, “Let’s Be Human,” calls for submissions that are original, bold, and boundary-pushing, digital works that don’t just sit on a screen but spark emotion, interaction, and curiosity. Your creation should be crafted with care, and far from ordinary, something wildly creative, immersive, and unforgettable. Whether it’s an interactive narrative, animation, experimental web piece or VR recordings it should reflect a unique interpretation of humanity through digital design.
We invite all digital creators to submit works or concepts that can be showcased on screen. If your exhibit showcases the topics below as well as other human aspects not covered, we would love to hear from you.
Include (but not limited to):
You should hold the right licenses for any copyrighted materials used.
