We have five awards of £2000 available to media professionals to create innovative content for our 62 metre panoramic screen. The work will be shown during the six days of the ICCI 360 Festival, 13th – 18th September 2010.

This is a fantastic opportunity to create and present work on a massive scale, across five screens displaying HD quality with surround sound. This multi-purpose arena has the capacity to display audio-visual, streaming broadcast material and host performance content to an audience of up to 1,000 people standing or 400+ people seated.
The theme for the awards is People, Places and Creating New Spaces.
We would like to invite you to submit proposals for audio visual work which really explores the potential of this panoramic arena. We are particularly interested in interactive work and ideas which use the encompassing arena to portray multiple narratives or transport the audience into other environments. You may have existing work which you think can be adapted for five screens or you may like to create new work. Supported by RIFE Investment Fund through the UK Film Council and South West Screen

The ICCI 360 Festival is the first of several festival events in the South West leading up to the Olympics and Paralympics in 2012. The concept behind the festival is to rekindle the spirit of the touring panorama, immersing and engaging audiences in stories, visual and audio delights. The September programme boasts a range of international new media artworks, historical archive projects, concerts, performance, gala events and workshops, also linking up with the BBC’s Big Screen in Plymouth City Centre.
To apply, you need to submit a proposal of your idea, with as much supporting material as possible, the more the better. The deadline for applications is the 4th June. Successful applicants will have until the 26th July to complete their work.
Applications should be sent to:
