FREE ENTRY / Centrale Festival Open Call

Artists Under 30 of all nationalities born after the 1st of January 1994 can submit their projects. The works will be selected by a committee flanked by Luca Panaro, artistic director of Centrale Festival, and by Marcello Sparaventi, president of Associazione Culturale Centrale Fotografia. The subject of the call is open. Photography or video art projects that make an original and attentive contribution to contemporary artistic research will be selected.

The selection committee is made up of a team of curators from ICON - Course for Curators of Contemporary Images | FMAV Higher educational school, Federica Benedetti, Maria Cristina Lanzafame, Beatrice Puddu, Chiara Spaggiari, particularly active in promoting research for emerging authors. The Fano Centrale Festival 15 will contact the selected artists and get them in touch with the curators. It will also take care step by step of the technical and organizational aspects for the exhibition set up. The production cost and shipping of the final works will be the responsibility of the artists.
