DUBAI: Ever dreamed of turning the Burj Khalifa into your personal art project? Now’s your shot — and it comes with a sweet AED100,000 prize. Emaar has launched a jaw-dropping open call for UAE-based artists, designers and creatives to submit a three-minute projection that could light up the world’s tallest tower.
From May 6 to 26, creatives can submit original video and animation concepts that reflect Dubai’s spirit of innovation, culture and creativity. The winning design will be projected on the actual Burj Khalifa, turning your vision into a global spectacle — seen by millions.
To join, all you need is a killer idea, a 3-minute animation or video, and the guts to go big. Emaar has laid out the full tech specs on www.burjkhalifa.ae/open-call. Think resolution, format, mapping guidelines — all the nerdy stuff to make sure your art fits perfectly on the tallest screen on Earth.
Mohamed Alabbar, Emaar’s Founder, said this competition is about giving every dreamer and artist a shot at the spotlight. “Burj Khalifa is not just a building, it’s a canvas,” he said. “We’re inviting creatives to reach for the sky — literally.”
Winners not only bag the AED100K, but their work will also light up Downtown Dubai’s most iconic landmark. That’s exposure that money literally can’t buy.
So if you’re a UAE-based creative with something to say, email your submission to opencall@emaar.ae with a concept note. And yes, go wild — the sky isn’t the limit anymore.
