NON STOP MEDIА V
FESTIVAL OF YOUTH PROJECTS

Youth Projects NON STOP MEDIA.
Dates of the Festival first weeks of April 2010.

We announce an open preliminary competition the winners of which will be
pronounced by the competent jury, and will have the right to display their
works during Festival’s competition program. 25 projects will be selected
and will make up the base of the program.

The main goal of the Festival is to provoke and motivate young authors to
project-based art creation. Therefore, the project-oriented thinking,
professionalism in implementing project idea, innovation, taboo overcoming
(art, social…) and “contemporary language” will be the key priority in
the preselection process. We remind you that a project requires not just a
clear concept but also an intrinsic logic. In other words, the conception
should be conveyed through works’ technique, form and content. Except for
author’s project projects from curators are also acceptable. Selection
criteria remains the same.
Art project of different technique (from traditional painting to
contemporary media) and different subjects can be submitted for the contest.
