The inaugural Annwn Prize for immersive storytelling has been awarded to "Colored (Noire)," an augmented-reality experience depicting Claudette Colvin's defiance against segregation in 1955 Montgomery, Alabama. This new global award, co-produced by the Wales Millennium Centre and Crossover Labs, aims to elevate immersive storytelling beyond novelty and recognize it as a significant cultural form. The prize, which includes a £20,000 award and a development residency for the creators at Novaya, seeks to highlight works that use technology to foster deeper audience engagement and a sense of agency within narratives.
