In light of the tremendous interest and growing excitement surrounding the Burj Khalifa Projection Design Competition, Emaar has announced the extension of the submission deadline to 26 June 2025. The extension allows more creatives across the UAE—both emerging and established—to take part in this extraordinary opportunity to showcase their work on the world’s tallest building.

The winning design will receive a cash prize of AED 100,000 and the exceptional opportunity to be displayed on the iconic façade of Burj Khalifa—offering the artist global exposure and the chance to inspire millions.

The competition invites participants to submit original videos or animations, each lasting three minutes, reflecting the spirit of creativity, innovation, and Dubai’s ever-evolving identity. Submissions must meet specific technical requirements to ensure compatibility with Burj Khalifa’s advanced projection system.

For full technical guidelines, as well as terms and conditions, please visit:www.burjkhalifa.ae/open-call.

Submissions should be sent via email to opencall@emaar.ae, along with a short concept description outlining the inspiration and story behind the design.

Through this initiative, Emaar reaffirms its commitment to celebrating artistic excellence and offering visionary creators a platform to leave their mark on one of the most recognised landmarks in the world. All artists, designers, and creatives in the UAE are encouraged to seize this one-of-a-kind opportunity.
