VIAR360 Launches Worlds First VR Storytelling Contest

We have recently been reporting on interesting 360° initiatives from content creators from all over the world. With content ranging from adventurous Dutchmen, taking on Mt. Everest to the modern-day VR Hitchcock, all the way to lionhearted journalists from the New York Times taking the trip to Fallujah in Iraq. Storytelling has many faces, and we’ve covered a fair few of them.

Today we’re excited to tell you that there may be more coming your way as a reader. Earlier this week, VIAR — a white label publishing platform published their intent of hosting the world’s first VR storytelling contest.

The event will be broken down into 8 lesser contests, and the champions of each individual competition will go on to face other winners in the final round where a storywriting grand prize winner will be found.
