Deadline: 31 August 2020
Immersive media creators from across the world are invited to inspire everyone to take action for the Sustainable Development Goals.
Since 2018, the MY World 360˚ creators are using immersive storytelling to shine a spotlight on the issues most relevant to them and their communities and to inspire action on the Sustainable Development Goals, a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.
From climate action reporting to stories of local innovation and resilience, to date MY World 360º has compiled over 100 immersive stories from creators around the world and screened the official selection as part of United Nations events and activations around the world.
Your MY World 360º story may include one or more of the following:
- Audio recordings that engage listeners with a story or new idea
- Mixed media projects that combine drawings, photos, audio, video, animation and/or text in a unique way
- Panorama or 360˚ photography or video that immerses viewers in a new experience, point of view, or place
- Augmented Reality (AR) that brings digital content into experience of the real world
- Interactive digital games, simulations, or experiences that combine 2D, 3D, or Virtual Reality (VR) elements
- Photogrammetry and 3D modeling that share natural or cultural artifacts
- Or something else—show what’s possible!
