Preparing for winter begins in the summer: apply for residencies and festivals now to participate in them during the hot months. Also worth noting are several competitions that will help you collect victories and add to your collection of achievements.

Signal Art Call 2024

The concept of the Signal 2024 festival is based on string theory, which states that the entire universe consists of homogeneous ultramicroscopic quantum threads. The fluctuations of these threads create an infinite variety of phenomena. The festival includes the development of audiovisual solutions for concert spaces, including scenography, lighting, and, potentially, performative practices. Three grants, ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 million rubles, have been allocated for the implementation of these projects. Festival participants will have a unique opportunity to create innovative works that bridge art and science, immersing viewers in the captivating world of audiovisual art.

Applications are due by May 31. Please ensure your application is completed correctly and submitted on time to avoid any missed applications. Don't miss your opportunity to submit your application before the specified date.

The First Uralruin Arch-Residence "Not an Empty Place"

Each village along the Iset River is home to historic churches and abandoned factory buildings. The residency organizers plan to create a "large landscape-ruin park in the Urals" and invite artists and architects to participate in this project. Participants must choose one of the proposed locations, conduct research using the provided materials, or, if desired, visit the site in person. Based on the collected information, an architectural design must be developed. The necessary materials and volunteer assistance will then be provided to implement the project. Participants can expect the process of creating the object to resemble a "summer camp for adults."

Applications close on June 17. Make sure your application is submitted on time to avoid missing out.

The "We Are Collective Actions" Project at Archstoyanie

At the festival, you can organize any collective event and attract like-minded people to help implement it. The process is very simple: just fill out a Google form and create a Telegram chat. We recommend first familiarizing yourself with examples, such as collective shouting followed by listening to the echo or stretching exercises. This is a great opportunity to interact and share experiences in a friendly atmosphere.

Applications are open until July 1. Make sure you submit your application by the deadline to avoid potential problems with participation. Don't miss your chance and prepare all the necessary documents in advance.

G8 Creative Awards 2024 Competition

The competition consists of two main sections: Creative Advertising and Creative Industries. The Creative Advertising section includes three categories: Advertising and Design, Digital, and Branding. Each of these categories has a separate Young category, open to young professionals under 30. The Creative Industries section offers participation in categories such as Animation, Web & App, Architecture, and Music. Competition winners receive AKAR points, which underscores the significance of their achievements in the industry.

Applications are due before August 1. Please ensure your application is complete and submitted on time to avoid missed opportunities. Don't miss the deadline to guarantee your participation in the event.

Morisawa Type Design Competition 2024

This year, the competition has expanded to five categories, including Japanese, Latin, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Hangul (the Korean alphabet). Each category will have a winner, as well as an audience award. A special award was presented to Olga Pankova for her Curbe typeface. The competition attracts the attention of designers and font enthusiasts, contributing to the development and popularization of various writing systems.

Applications are accepted until August 29. Don't miss the opportunity to submit your application on time to guarantee your participation. Please pay attention to all terms and requirements to ensure successful consideration of your application.
