Moving Image Commission

Moving Image

The 2013 Moving Image Commission is now open! Details of how to enter and apply online are here.

Every year we award an artist or film-maker £30,000 to create a new moving image work in response to the world's largest half-marathon. The work is then presented as part of the following year's programme with an extract screened on the BBC as part of their live coverage of the Bupa Great North Run.
