ZSOLNAY LIGHT ART MAPPING COMPETITION 2021
As part of the 5th Zsolnay Festival of Light, Zsolnay Heritage Management Nonprofit Ltd. announces the next edition of it’s popular, international, prized Zsolnay Light Art Mapping Competition to be composed on the Pécs Cathedral.
The mapping surface remains the same, which covers the Cathedral’s Southern façade, towers, roof and rear towers.
The Jury Panel consists of a five-member international professional committee, and we made two essential changes to the course of the competition:
- Shortlisted artists, whose mapping will be included in the 2021 festival program will automatically receive a 1000 EUR compensation for their completed work
- The official Jury will award ONE prize only
The Zsolnay Light Art team aims to present all artworks to the public in a respectful way. If restrictions will not allow live screenings, we will release the projects in a risk-free, progressive way: in a virtual space developed specifically for this occasion. The online competition will follow the same guidelines as the original call; the jury will be voting on the Grand Jury Prize, and the public will have the opportunity to vote on the Audience Prize.
The Zsolnay Light Art Mapping Competition is free for all visitors, and is recommended for all ages. For further information on the festival program, please visit http://zsolnayfenyfesztival.hu.
