DAC - Digital Art Challenge Logo | AVIXA

There is a famous saying: “Content is King”. This is as true in the audiovisual world as it is in every other human experience arena. Creative content designers are the storytellers behind the scenes bringing AV systems to life in public and entertainment venues around the world. The pairing of creative content and AV technology is vital to create these amazing integrated experiences. The AVIXA Digital Art Challenge celebrates the incredible talent and skills of content creators by spotlighting the art and the artists they truly are.
