Skyframe Awards

The Skyframe Awards invite students and emerging creatives to develop new work for the screen, giving them a platform in the City to showcase their work to thousands of visitors each day.

The Skyframe Awards celebrate emerging digital artists, transforming one of London’s largest suspended LED canvases into a platform for new voices.

Five artists were invited to respond to a creative brief, supported from concept development in our simulator through to staging their work at Skyframe London. The result: five distinct visions displayed across the LED ceiling at Fen Court.​

Oliver Pearse brought “Organic Ocean,” Livvy Seabrook-Wilkins created “Little Meadow,” Philip Hoare presented “A Different Perspective,” DNA Studio delivered “Drift,” and James Doherty crafted “Into the Smog”.​

James Doherty won the inaugural award for his bold, sci-fi inspired vision that reimagined the London skyline with cinematic impact.​
