ARCTIC STORIES 

Call for projects

→ February 21st (midnight, GMT)

We are pleased to announce the opening of the Arctic Stories call for projects! The aim of this year-long program is to create and produce an immersive project through collaboration with creators and scientists to raise awareness about the impact of climate change on the North Pole!

The process? The selected participants (15 to 18), will be formed into transdisciplinary teams of 3, bringing together people with different skills but similar visions.

The objective? To result in a prototype that encapsulates the project and the technology used (AR/VR/XR/AI). At the end, a winning team will be selected and will travel to Tromso the first week of June to develop the project!

In association with Garage Stories, TVIBIT (Tromsø) & NewImages Hub.
