With the aim of promoting the creation of new video artworks and supporting the careers of artists specialized in this medium, Loop carries out a program of awards and grants in collaboration with key industry agents, both locally and internationally. The newly produced works resulting from these calls are often exhibited publicly during the Loop Festival.
Loop Barcelona convenes annual a jury award, the A-Place Open Call, to finance an audiovisual production to research on the subject of placemaking in all its formal and conceptual variants. In addition, LOOP Barcelona commissions each year a video production to an artist-in-residence, to explore topics related to place and placemaking. The videos are exhibited each year during the festival.
