Announce VR 360 Content Distribution Alliance and Open Call for Submissions to the 360 VR Showcase

Kaohsiung City, Taiwan (OCTOBER 11, 2019) – The most pressing issue facing artists after creating VR 360 content, is the difficult process of monetization. Finding buyers who are willing to license your work and negotiating fair deals are two of the top challenges faced by many content creators, making it so that many talented artists are unable to monetize their completed projects. Iconic Engine solves this problem with established relationships with all of the major Telcos who are licensing 360 VR Video and by using their catalogue of premium content to leverage favorable deals for artists.

Iconic Engine, together with Kaleidoscope and Sandman Studios, are combining their resources in order to help artists obtain licensing deals for 360 VR content by hosting the 360 Showcase, a distribution market that will feature 10 completed 360 VR projects from internationally renowned artists and studios. Today, Kaleidoscope announced an open call for submissions for the showcase on their professional network for the XR industry. Kaleidoscope will curate eight completed 360 VR projects from international artists and Sandman Studios will curate two projects from the Chinese market. In turn, Iconic Engine will represent the selected projects and secure licensing and distribution deals for the artists.

Online submissions open on October 12, 2019 and close on November 11, 2019. The showcase will be held on November 21, 2019. VR creators can submit their projects here: https://kldo.fund/360
