1 The participants in the competition are requested to upload their spot in digital form (see item 5 “Technical requirements for the spot”) to the subsite created especially for the occasion: www.koer.or.at/20secondsforart by April 15, 2026, 2 p.m. CET, and to fill in a project description and the contact form.

2 Any spots which do not meet the requirements of this call (see item 5) will not be considered further. Similarly, any spots by artists who do not meet the requirements of this call will not be considered further. They will not be notified separately about not being considered.

3 In the event that more than 50 spots are uploaded to the subsite specified above, the jury members will make a remote advance selection of works (short list), which will then be assessed in the jury meeting. Advance selection is based on the following criteria:

• artistic quality
• fulfilment of the objective of the call (visualization of “Humans and Intelligent Machines”)

4 The spots which have been uploaded by the participants in the competition will be appraised in a jury meeting in late May/early June, 2026 based on the specified appraisal criteria and the five winners will be selected.

5 The selection of the winners will be based on the following appraisal criteria; each of the appraisal criteria have the same weight and appraisal will be conducted based on the Austrian system of school grades:

• artistic quality
• fulfilment of the objective of the call (visualization of “Humans and Intelligent Machines”)

6 The winners will be notified in time following their selection and receive the order by direct award. The agreement shall be entered into by and between the respective winners and KÖR/INFOSCREEN. The submission documents shall not be returned. Except for the five winners, the other participants in the competition shall not be notified in person.

7 By submitting their spot, each participant acknowledges and accepts all the conditions and rules of procedure contained in the competition announcement and agrees to abide by them. Participants expressly acknowledge that the jury‘s decision on all technical and discretionary matters is subjective, autonomous, final, and unappealable, even if it is inevitably based on subjective elements.
