We offer a new category of incentive awards beginning in 2025. 

The Be Still Media Fellowships are individual $10k prizes awarded to eight artists each year. This is a unique opportunity for artists dedicated to advancing their creative vision. Open to previous finalists and winners of Be Still Media, the $10k fellowships will award sponsorship for current or newly proposed projects, giving recipients the resources to bring their most inspiring and ambitious works to life. 

Be Still Media is an enlivening global community of artists and media makers. Connected by the Power of the Prompt, our artists are influencers of expansive creativity, integrity and excellence. With head, heart and art, their works refract light in the world, imaginatively informing us about what makes us human.
