Festival start: 05 December 2025      Festival end: 01 February 2026

The current severe political and ecological crises seem to make idealistic or even utopian thinking—developing positive visions of the future—almost impossible.

Our theme, Collaborative Futures – SMALL APPROACHES, seeks to focus precisely on these small gestures of hope or success.

Participation will be determined by a jury composed of the cooperation partners listed on the website.

Cash Prizes: 777€

3 x Invitation to Artist Talks in Schwäbisch Gmünd
3 x €777 Audience Award
