competition for video mapping and facade projections

This year’s international competition for video mapping and facade projections starts in May 2026. All information about the competition buildings, timetable, and the conditions can be found here:

Until June 14, 2026, all interested artists can submit their conceptual ideas for this year’s locations as part of a competition under the theme “Democracy and Society.” Submissions may relate to different locations. A selected jury will evaluate the works. The winners will be announced on July 6, 2026. One winning entry will be selected per building.

A strong concept is characterized by historical awareness, architectural understanding, the ability to abstract and imagine, narrative talent, and a clear awareness of the specific site situation. Our team can support the technical implementation during the festival, meaning that professional knowledge of video mapping techniques is not a mandatory requirement for participation in the competition. In addition to classic video mappings, new styles and compositions are highly welcome. Possible approaches include 3D animation, elements from animation, live-action and short film, as well as illustrative techniques such as drawing, silhouette cut-outs, stop motion, etc. In previous years, we have received exciting submissions across a wide range of styles and genres.
