One of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks, Burj Khalifa, is turning into a canvas for creative minds across the UAE. Emaar has announced a new open call inviting artists, designers, and animators to submit original projection designs for Burj Khalifa. The chosen work will be displayed on the world’s tallest building, and the winning creator will receive a grand prize of Dhs 100,000.
This initiative is more than just a competition. It’s a unique opportunity for UAE-based artists to showcase their work on a global platform and become part of Dubai’s dynamic cultural narrative. Submissions must be an original video or animation pieces that reflect the city’s spirit of innovation, creativity and diversity.
Entries should be three minutes long and must follow specific technical guidelines to ensure compatibility with Burj Khalifa’s advanced projection system. Along with the video, participants are required to include a short description explaining the concept and inspiration behind their design. Full competition details, including technical specifications and terms, can be found at Burj Khalifa's official website.
The submission window is now open until 26 May. The winning artwork will be revealed and displayed on 12 June, turning a creative dream into a moment that will light up the Dubai skyline.
