Since the start of Amsterdam Light Festival, we wanted to offer artists from all over the world a platform. Their light artworks are exhibited in the historic city centre of Amsterdam, and its numerous unique locations. Each year, the festival distributes its Call for Concepts; an open invitation to artists from all over the world to submit ground-breaking proposals in line with the annually changing theme.

Theme
The Amsterdam Light Festival is now accepting submissions for the 2018-2019 edition of the event, which will take place Nov. 29, 2018 through Jan. 20, 2019. The deadline is Jan. 17, 2018. Artists, designers, engineers, architects, professionals and students alike, are invited to submit their concepts for the festival’s 2018-2019 theme: “The Medium is the Message.”
A modern day evaluation of this famous one-liner raises questions about the powerful influence of (new) media. And when it comes to light as a medium, several specific, interesting issues come into play.The artworks submitted are selected by an international jury, along with the festival curatorial team.

Open to All
January 17, 2018 (16:00 CET) is the deadline for submissions; there is a €35 fee for each entry.
