The Sluice_screens ɔc Prize was organised by Sluice__ in partnership with The Hospital Club, London and Berlin-based ascribe, an online organisation looking to promote correct credit and copyright issues for screen-based artists.

The ten finalists were then screened at The Hospital Club in December 2015 – January 2016. In addition to Aprils screening at Islington Mill the works will also be shown in the coming months at Lux Glasgow and the Gallery Weekender Berlin.
