Motion Typography Prize

Winner of the Motion Typography Prize 2022

We are glad to announce that the winner of the Motion Typography Prize 2022 is Behnam Hanafi. The winner will receive the competition certification and the prize at the address that they have submitted at the time of registeration to the competition.

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their works to the Motion Typography Prize 2022. We have received more than fifty works from twenty four artists, animators and designers. Selected works will be showcased at the Video Database section of the Animation Typography/Calligraphy website. We are very glad to see an increase of interest in the exploration of animated typography in the Persian alphabet, in recent years. We belive in the proto-animatedness of the art of Persian calligraphy and typography and hope to see more artists, animators and designers explore the possibilities of the animated form to bring Persian typography/calligraphy to life. Stay tuned and come back for future competitions!
