The 8th edition of the Video Mapping Festival kicks-off on 4 April and 15 April 2025, with a tour in Lille, followed by a tour in the Hauts-de-France region until October.

In this context, the Rencontres Audiovisuelles association, organiser of the festival, is putting out three calls for entries addressed to artists, professionals and students in the following fields: video mapping, audio-visual creation, animated film, digital arts, set design, graphic design, video games, music, sound design, etc., for both French and international individuals.

The Video Mapping Awards competition is designed to reward the best productions of 2024. The mapping that have been selected in the pre-selection phase will be presented to the general audience and to a professional jury in the form of a screening, on 5 April  2025 in Lille. The awards are honorary and selected artists will be invited to promote their work (transport and accommodation covered), and will be able to participate in the Video Mapping Festival.

The competition is open to anyone who has created or produced a video mapping. By video mapping, the organisers refer to an audio-visual created using images projected on one or more volumes. Any other form will not be accepted.
