1 imapp Bucharest 2017 INTERNATIONAL VIDEO MAPPING COMPETITION CALL FOR ENTRIES OUTLINE OF THE COMPETITION The imapp Bucharest 2017 Video Mapping Competition is jointly organized by the Municipality of Bucharest, Creart - Center for Creation, Art and Tradition of the Municipality of Bucharest as the Producer, Maxin10sity Ltd. as the Art Curator and 360 Revolution Srl as Technical Provider henceforth collectively referred to as the Organizer.

The animations will be projected on 16th September 2017, in front of an international jury and a live audience. THEME ABOVE AND BEYOND Exploration is the key concept of imapp To boldly go where no one has gone before. Above & Beyond. A visual journey above the horizon, among stars and galaxies or beyond the molecular structure. Or a luxuriant phantasy of jungle vegetation. Maybe a deep dive into the oceanic abyss. Or all of the above. And beyond any of it! The visual content can be conceptual or figurative, realistic or symbolic. It can fit a very abstract approach of the artist or it can be a part of a narrative puzzle. With imapp Bucharest, we celebrate the artistic and cultural life of our city. While we believe in the freedom of artistic expression, we do not condone any kind of political statement or social activism and we strongly advise against any offensive content of the shows.
