The 2024 award includes:
Five $5,000 prizes;

Artists within the first eight years of their professional careers are encouraged to apply. We welcome submissions of screen-based works that are not only created with digital technologies, but also speak to the concerns, ethics, and constructs of virtual space and their production. Submissions should be made to one of five categories: Still Image; Moving Image; 2D Interactive; Extended Reality; and 3D Installation.
Submit your work for consideration by August 5! Visit edaa.eqbank.ca to learn more, and follow us on Instagram @edaa_eqb
