Hyundai Motor Group is proud to announce the open call for the 7th VH AWARD, inviting media artists to explore new horizons through this global initiative. Held biennially since 2016, the award has provided a global platform to amplify and support voices of creators whose work engages with the context of Asia. The proposed projects should explore audiovisual art in screen-based format, including video art, motion graphics, animation, games, films, or other newly explored areas. The winner will be chosen from five finalists.
Individuals and collectives can submit their proposals under the condition of their work falling into the criteria of audiovisual art and engaging with the context of Asia. The award welcomes submissions from all over the world-individuals or collectives of Asian descent, those based in Asia, and members of the Asian diaspora.
A grant of $30,000(USD) will be awarded to each finalist to support the creation of their work. The commissioned works of the finalists will be showcased across prominent global platforms from 2027 such as HEK in Basel, the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Vision Hall in Yongin, and Singapore Art Week 2028, as well as taking part in the Ars Electronica online residency program including masterclasses and 1:1 mentoring sessions to develop the proposed artwork. The winner will receive an additional grant of $30,000(USD)
