The Guggenheim New York and YouTube have joined forces to create YouTube Play. A Biennial of Creative Video, where a jury of informed individuals will seek to discover and showcase some of the best artist talent to be found in the realm of online video.

The YouTube Play channel has already attracted more than 2.6 million viewers as the submissions continue to arrive before the deadline of 31st July.
The panel of judges for the biennial is impressive in itself, featuring, to name just a few, artists Douglas Gordon, Ryan McGinley, Marilyn Minter and Takashi Murakami, filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, artist and filmmakers Shirin Neshat and Apichatpong Weerasethakul as well as graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister.
