Films of the successful shortlisted concepts will be showcased on a dedicated website, www.playwithourpixels.com, and the finalists will go on to be judged by a panel of industry experts.
It is free to enter the competition, which is open until August 29. The winners announced at a prestigious awards ceremony at the IMAX in London on October 9.
There are two categories to enter: Creative Techniques and the Interactive Category.
The prizes include the chance to showcase campaigns across Ocean’s full motion six city network, The Grid and domination of Eat Street@Westfield London including interactivity and experiential.
Ocean Outdoor chief executive Tim Bleakley said: “This year is the fifth anniversary of a competition that has encouraged the market to consider digital out of home as a medium in its own right, one that can inspire and deliver creatively, with the ability to integrate with the latest technology and other forward thinking media.
“Last year's winners, Twitter’s #iSpy game for Nokia and Tate Britain’s data driven Welcome to London campaign, did just that. Two campaigns that were exceptional for the strength of their visual ideas and their superb use of technology. Our challenge to the creative community in 2014 is a simple one. Top that.”
Previous competition winner, the MicroLoan Foundation, went on to win a Gold Cannes Lions for its celebrated ‘Pennies for Life’ campaign.
