International call for entries for the BBBank Award Projection Mapping starts

Artists and collectives can submit their ideas until November 20, 2023

The SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE in Karlsruhe are an annual highlight in the UNESCO City of Media Arts Karlsruhe. Every evening for about four weeks in August and September, the more than 170-meter-long façade of the Karlsruhe Baroque Palace becomes a large stage for artistic contributions of projection mapping. SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE 2024 refers to the 75th anniversary of the German Basic Law in 2024. As a partner of SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE, ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medien Karlsruhe in cooperation with BBBank is also offering the BBBank Award Projection Mapping for 2024. The Open Call has now started. It invites international artists to work on the topic of law and democracy.

As the seat of the Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Court of Justice, Karlsruhe is the city of law in Germany. In 2024, the Federal Republic will celebrate 75 years of the German Basic Law, and the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE will make reference to this.

Entries are open until November 20, 2023. The complete call for entries, including the conditions of participation in German and English, is available at https://zkm.de/de/ausschreibung-bbbank-award-im-projection-mapping-2024.


After 33 days of playing, the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE Karlsruhe have come to an end.

THANKS TO 285,000 VISITORS!

SEE YOU IN AUGUST 2024!
