Showcase Your Talent on Burj Khalifa!

Design Your Dream Display on the Burj Khalifa and Win 100,000 Dirhams!

Dubai once again proves that creativity offers limitless possibilities. Through Emaar’s latest competition, anyone can bring their artistic dreams to life and potentially see their creation displayed on the world’s tallest building, the stunning Burj Khalifa. The winner will not only showcase their talent to the world but will also take home a cash prize of 100,000 dirhams.

Opportunity for All Creative Minds

The competition is open for submission from May 6 to 26, and is accessible to not only professional artists, but also designers, creative professionals, and enthusiastic amateurs. The creation must be presented in a three-minute video or animation format, which will be displayed on the iconic facade of the Burj Khalifa. Dubai's breathtaking skyline and vibrant culture can serve as inspiration for the entrants, allowing them to showcase their talents to a global audience.

Technical Requirements and Details

The facade of the Burj Khalifa is no ordinary surface: it’s the world’s largest LED projection platform. To seamlessly integrate a visually dynamic content into the system, strict technical requirements must be met. These include the appropriate resolution, format, and mapping guidelines. Detailed specifications can be found on Emaar's official website to assist designers in realizing their visions.

When submitting their creations, it is important that participants also attach a brief concept description, showcasing the inspiration and story behind the design. Materials should be sent to opencall@emaar.ae, opening up the opportunity for every entrant to see their creation come to life on one of the world's most renowned buildings.

New Light Display for the Burj Khalifa and 15th Anniversary Celebration

The competition is particularly exciting as the comprehensive and revolutionary lighting development of the Burj Khalifa’s facade was completed in November 2024. The new light show was first demonstrated during the Eid Al Etihad celebration on December 1, 2024, subsequently paving the way for the 15th-anniversary celebrations on January 4, 2025. These developments have made the building an even more impressive projection platform, providing a perfect stage for creative works.
