Curatorial section winners
Curatorial projects created with complete technical and stylistic freedom are encouraged. Accepted forms include traditional exhibitions, experimental installations, virtual galleries, site-specific displays, pop-up shows, multimedia installations, and community-engagement projects. Submissions can explore a range of themes, mediums, and exhibition formats, encompassing work with physical, digital, or hybrid environments.

Projects may be presented in various formats, such as exhibition proposals, visual concept boards, digital mock-ups, or virtual walkthroughs. Submissions should include a clear curatorial statement outlining the theme, vision, and objectives, as well as any special display needs, such as lighting, sound elements, interactive features, or specific spatial arrangements. The maximum spatial footprint for physical installations should not exceed 6x6 meters, with flexibility for smaller, modular setups.
