Counseling round / December 15, 2022 The purpose of the consultation round is to provide feedback, recommendations for further work and practical advice on implementation based on initial concept.

The deadline for the final round of the competition is January 20, 2023 The submitted work must contain the title of the work, a description of the idea (up to 1000 characters) and visual material (drawing, if necessary, links to audio or video) with information about the dimensions of the work, the materials used and the implementation/installation info. Please, submit all information in one PDF file. Students studying at EKA in 2022 have been invited to participate in the competition with a completed and previously not exhibited work, with its further development or with a new work in progress. Works completed as shared authorship or group work will not be considered. It should also be taken into account that the works are exhibited in a group exhibition format, in a room with general lighting, and it is not possible to build partitions or booths separating the works.

Final round drafts can be uploaded here.
