Digital Lab Africa (DLA) is inviting creatives and cultural entrepreneurs from Sub-Saharan Africa to submit applications to participate in the DLA#4 acceleration programme.
Digital Lab Africa is the first platform dedicated to creative content (immersive realities, video game, animation, music and digital art) linked with innovation in Africa.
The very idea of DLA is to incubate emerging creative talent by offering them a springboard to fast track their projects with the support and expertise of DLA ecosystem in France and in Sub-Saharan African countries.
Managed by the South African innovation hub- Tshimologong Digital Innovation Precinct since 2018, DLA is an initiative of the Embassy of France and the French Institute in South Africa (IFAS).
The Digital Lab Africa call for applications #4 is open to anyone from the cultural and creative industries: artists, producers, designers, collectives, students or entrepreneurs.
Projects need to be innovative from the perspective of form, storytelling, content and technologies used, in one of these 5 categories: immersive realities, video game, music, animation and digital art.
Selected applicants will be given a DLA Incubation Pass to fast track the development of their project.
Alongside mentorship and training sessions, the DLA #4 winners will be hosted in residency in France and also attend industry events such as Annecy Animation festival, New images, Paris Games Week or Les Nuits Sonores in France and the Fak’ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival in South Africa.
Applications will close on 1 March 2020. Click here to apply.
