The 12th 1minute Projection Mapping Competition, a competition of projection mapping works of 1 minute to 1 minute and 59 seconds, will be held again this year. The screening of finalists’ works and the announcement of results will take place from 14 to 16 September 2024 in Tokyo, Japan.
1minute Projection Mapping is one of the world’s largest international projection mapping competitions. This is the only projection mapping competition in Japan where you can see high-level and unique works from all over the world at one time. Last year’s 11th competition attracted 281 entries from 58 countries and regions around the world.
This year the competition theme is ‘Mirror’. A mirror reflecting various things is a wonderful and mysterious existence. What can be seen is a real image but also a virtual one, giving you the feeling of another dimension. Or, like a mirror in a fairy tale, it might reflect the inner and wishes of the people looking at it. Is what we are facing the truth, or is it the future or our distorted wishes?
The projections will be on Meijijingu Gaien Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery, which is 112m wide and 32.1m high (apex of the central dome). There will be approximately 18–20 works screened.
Awards:
- GRAND PRIZE: 2 million JPY, trophy, supplementary prize, invited as a guest creator for the next competition.
- SECOND PRIZE: 500k JPY, trophy, supplementary prize
- THIRD PRIZE: 200k JPY, trophy, supplementary prize
- FORTH PRIZE: 100k JPY, trophy, supplementary prize
- AUDIENCE PRIZE: 100k JPY, trophy, supplementary prize
Finalists will receive a travel and lodging subsidy for one person (3 days/2 nights, amount is capped) when visiting the screening in mid-September.
