Such a strong showcase of work! so disappointed we could be there physically, but at least we get to celebrate and view it this virtual way!
Well done to all involved! really enjoyed it

I have been in here for hours. I loved wandering the virtual rooms - and viewing loads of amazing work. Really brilliant - thanks so much and congratulations.
Well done for getting FORMAT off the ground
Everything looks incredible so far, and still have much left to see! Congrats to FORMAT and all the artists involved :)

What an amazing achievement. Well done
A great start to a great month of Photography
Amazing! Too able to view the artwork of so many talented artist from thousands of miles away. The only way previously I"d ever be able to see this is to happen to travel to galleries local to these artists while they were being shown. The possibilities to change the art market, to distribute art, to give control to the artist (like in music) are exciting. Well done!
I found travelling from room to room seeing thousands of works very enlightening. I'm very impressed with the 'video game' inspired way of hosting the exhibition to make it more interactive. Thank you Format!
Great to attend the opening of Format, It's not quite got the charm of Derby! But a refreshing experience thats growing on me, I'm looking forward to exploring from the warmth of my lounge!
Congratulations to all at FORMAT for coming up trumps in the hardest of times! Thank you, Tristan
What an amazing launch to a fantastic festival. Well done to everyone involved in the making of this!

Fabulous, great idea, beautifully executed
Congratulations figuring out how not to be defeated during lockdown! Looking forward to seeing the work.
NICE experience for a new way to shoe a festival
Great show so far. Well done Format Team!!
It looks amazing. I will need some practice to know how to find my way around, my cursor went AWOL!
The future is here.
Covid has helped bring us all together so well. it is democratising the arts with online exhibitions, festivals, workshops and meetings!
well done to all involved
A great way to make format covid-free, great to see so many spaces and creative layouts with some great work. The open form of format has been kept alive by this, and proud to be part of youngFORMAT too.
Congratulations
This looks amazing! Well done to everyone involved!
