Calls for Entries

We currently run three calls for entries schemes:

- FVU:LAB: for four emerging moving image artists to work with cutting edge technologies at NTU’s new Design and Digital Arts building. This can be either for a specific outcome, ie to help them to realise a new work, or artists can apply for R&D time to see if a specific technology is appropriate to incorporate into their practice or to realise a particular idea.
Applications are now open and there is no official deadline. Applications will be assessed in order of receipt. Once four artists have been selected, we will close the opportunity for applications.

- Michael O'Pray Prize: for new writing on innovation and experimentation in the moving image. Winner receives £750, and two further awardees receive £300, with texts published by Art Monthly and FVU. This is an annual prize. 
Entries for the 2025 edition of the Prize are now closed. 

- FVU New Takes: for artists to test new ideas and thinking in moving image. The programme will provide creative support for three UK based visual artists, who are within five years of beginning their professional artistic practice, to realise a new moving image work.
Entries are now closed. 

To be notified about future calls for entries sign up to our e-bulletin here.
