We want to say a huge thanks to the 101,500 of you took part in Great North Run Culture this year – whether it was to see an exhibition, participate in a workshop, listen to an artist talk, come to an event or read Kate Fox’s fabulous poetry - or the 2 million of you who watched us on BBC ONE! - thank you all.

Moving Image Commission

Moving Image

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.

Entry for the 2012 Moving Image Commission is now closed.
