Shortlist for the WOWMOSCOW Video Competition about Cities

We are pleased to announce that a shortlist has been published for the WOWMOSCOW International Competition of Short Videos about Cities organized by the Moscow City Tourism Committee and the HSE Art and Design School as part of the forum and festival "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030".

A total of 294 projects from participants in 12 countries were submitted to the competition. The international jury is now starting to evaluate the submissions. On July 20, 2024 the jury will announce the names of the finalists.

Please note that you can only be selected as a finalist if you can provide the organizers with the following information by July 18, 16:30 Moscow time:

• confirmation of your ability to travel to Moscow and participate in the final stage of the competition to be held on August 10 to 25, 2024;
• confirmation of a valid travel passport with expiry date no earlier than February 28, 2025;
• a link to the original video.

If your project is selected among the ten finalists but you are unable to come to Moscow and/or are not ready to send a link to the original video for screening during the final awards ceremony, where the competition winner is to be announced, your place goes to the next shortlisted finalist in the evaluation system.

We find it very important that the participants’ efforts are not wasted and that those candidates who are able to create the best short film about Moscow make it to the final. Therefore, we strongly advise all shortlisted participants to check the email specified at the registration stage. The organizers are currently contacting you with the above questions.

If you do not respond by July 18, 16:30 Moscow time, this will be considered as a refusal to participate in the final.

We will be happy to answer any questions you may have: contestmoscow@hse.ru or in the telegram channel.
