Call for Concepts: Amsterdam Light Festival 2016 - 2017

We invites you (artists, designers, engineers and architects) to submit ideas for artworks to be staged at the festival's 2016 - 2017 edition.

Description
As one of the most successful light festivals we realize that we owe our success to you, the Artist. It is why The Guardian ranked us #1 of the top ten of light festivals of Europe: because of our festival's "eclectic" character. Our unique way of selecting artworks is exactly what offers the audience this fantastic variety of Light Art: everyone can submit his or her idea, and everyone's concept is considered seriously.
The Amsterdam Light Festival presents two different exhibition routes in the public space of Amsterdam, each with specific characteristics.
1. A boat route named WATER COLORS that goes along artworks which are floating on the water (such as the canals of historic Amsterdam) or are installed right next to it or above the water.
2. A walking route named ILLUMINADE with artworks that are staged around a park-like setting.
You can submit an artwork for one of these exhibitions only. You can – of course – submit as many artworks as you like.
