Do you create digital experiences that engage and inspire audiences? Heritage in Motion Awards invites you to showcase your work.
Heritage in Motion (HIM) is an international award celebrating innovative multimedia projects that interpret, preserve, and promote cultural heritage. Since 2014, it has recognised the most creative uses of technology in heritage projects, from immersive digital experiences to compelling audiovisual storytelling.
Who can participate?
If you are creating heritage-related digital experiences that are as thrilling as they are meaningful, we invite you to share your expertise with a global audience. HIM invites cultural institutions, producers, creators, filmmakers, and digital content developers from all over the world to submit their projects.
Award categories
You can submit projects in four categories:
- New Digital Experiences – for immersive and interactive experiences in museums, historical sites, and other heritage spaces
- Virtual and Augmented Reality – for the use of VR and AR as powerful tools to explore, interpret, and engage with heritage
- Heritage Audiovisuals – for outstanding audiovisual works that bring heritage stories to life
- Heritage Schools – for projects created by young creators (ages 15-25) exploring heritage
HIM 2025 is open to projects completed after 1 January 2023.
