The program has and will continue to experiment with various strategies for providing sound to the public on a case-by-case basis. However, the content must be fully successful without audio as the default. Project proposals are welcome to include sound. Midnight Moment is a silent exhibition program. Video submissions should contain NO AUDIO: Video submissions should be 170 seconds (2:50) long Technical Specifications for File Submission: Vertical Format Video (150 seconds, 2:30) Vertical Format Video (170 seconds, 2:50) Horizontal Format Video (150 seconds, 2:30) Images must be 18"x24" at 300dpi: JPG or TIFF Still Images: 1-3 still images representing the work submitted. Horizontal Format Video, 170 seconds (2:50) Times Square Arts values equity and diversity in the breadth of artists, traditions, subjects, ideas, and approaches to artmaking in the Midnight Moment program. When reviewing works, the Midnight Moment Selection Committee understands the Times Square Arts mission. When proposing works, the Artist should consider Times Square's uniqueness as a place, and the diversity of its visitors, workers, and residents. Submissions may be proposed in partnership with other cultural institutions and/or to coincide with concurrent exhibitions, performances, etc. World or New York City premieres are appreciated, although new edits and re-imaginings of previous works are also strongly considered. The Artist must be the owner of the submitted work and is responsible for all licenses and representations. Though a work is approved by the selection committee, the participating billboards reserve the right to decline presentation of a said work on their displays for any reason. However, these potential inaccuracies are tracked by the Times Square Arts team for each project and are often unnoticeable to the average eye. Please note that because each billboard is independently operated, the synchronization is not guaranteed to be 100% perfect. Sustained bright white content should be avoided. Visually speaking, successful submissions often contain saturated and/or high contrast colors.
