Open to: any creator interested in billboard art
Award: 3,000 złoty (about 726 Euro)
Description
The Polish festival Art Moves uses billboards in an innovative way. Their usual function is changed and the festival organizers use them not to present advertisements, but moving and thought-provoking art. They put great emphasis on deepened thinking, reflection and awareness rising. Thinking is very closely related to the people. When people change their thinking, deepen their awareness and initiate their reflection, they also change the reality they live in.
The purpose of the competition is to propagate and popularize billboard art and to encourage artists to create art engaged in the reality. From all the entries, the jury will select 10 most interesting works which will be printed and displayed on billboards in the city space during the Art Moves Festival in September and October 2014 in Torun, Poland.
Eligibility
Both individual artists and groups of artists can participate in the competition, regardless nationality, sex, or any other condition.
