The Billboard Art Competition 2025

About the Open Call

The Billboard Art Competition 2025, organized by the Art Moves Festival, focuses on the theme "Love or anxiety? How can we stop escaping and take responsibility for our own fate and the fate of the world?". This theme serves as a metaphor for contemporary global processes, acknowledging the turmoil, challenges, and rapid changes that lead to perceptual overload, overstimulation, and increased anxiety. The competition prompts artists to explore how individuals and societies can move beyond escape and take meaningful action, seeking energy from love as an antidote to destruction. A jury panel, including Adam Niklewicz, Mark Titchner, Małgorzata Augustyniak, and Rafał Góralski, selected 8 projects for exhibition during the Art Moves Festival 2025, starting September 5th in Toruń, Poland. The main award of 6000 PLN will be granted to the most interesting work. The competition is open to all artists interested in billboard art. Submissions are to be made electronically by July 24, 2025, 0:00 CET.
