EQ Bank is pleased to launch the 10th edition of the Emerging Digital Artists Award, Canada’s award for critical experimentation in digital media, accepting submissions now through August 5, 2024. To mark this momentous occasion, the 2024 award features a range of exciting prizes and, for the first time ever, five distinct award categories, each valued at $5,000!
The 2024 award includes:
- Five $5,000 prizes
- An international residency opportunity at CYENS Thinker Maker Space in Nicosia, Cyprus, in 2025

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.
