MFRU32: Razpis za študentska intermedijska umetniška dela in nagrade
8. junija, 2026
Razpis za študentska intermedijska umetniška dela in študentske nagrade MFRU32

Mednarodni festival računalniške umetnosti (MFRU) podeljuje tri nagrade in možnost razstavljanja v okviru letošnjega 32. festivala MFRU!

Študente_ke, ki delujejo na področju intermedijske in digitalne umetnosti, vabimo k prijavi avtorskih projektov. Prijave niso omejene na temo festivala; tematska povezanost je dobrodošla, ni pa pogoj. Festival podeljuje tri nagrade in omogoča razstavljanje v okviru svojega programa, s čimer spodbuja sodobno umetniško produkcijo na področju intermedijske umetnosti in digitalnih praks.

Letošnja edicija festivala se osredotoča na razumevanje telesa v spekulativnih digitalnih prihodnostih, kjer telo ni več stabilna biološka enota, temveč spremenljiv, podatkovno prehoden in tehnološko razširjen pojav. V ospredju je »telo v relaciji« – telo, ki nastaja v odnosu do digitalnih tehnologij, ekonomskih in političnih sistemov ter širših družbenih pogojev in se pri tem vpenja v omrežja, simulacije in procese nenehne optimizacije in transformacije identitete ter materialnosti.

Za prijavo so relevantni tako projekti, ki neposredno obravnavajo telo kot biološko ali spekulativno materijo kot tudi dela, ki telo razumejo posredno – kot vstopno točko v digitalne sisteme, interaktivna okolja ali mreže, kjer postane del širšega tehnološko oblikovanega prostora.

Vloga naj vsebuje:

  • kratek življenjepis s kontaktnimi podatki avtorja_ice,
  • dokazilo o študentskem statusu,
  • vsebinski opis umetniškega dela (do 500 besed),
  • foto, video in/ali drug vizualni material, ki predstavlja delo, in
  • portfolio ali spletno stran s predstavitvijo preteklih del.

Javni zavod Mladinski kulturni center Maribor (MKC Maribor), ki deluje na področju umetnosti, kulture in mladinskega sektorja, bo tudi letos izbranim projektom podelil:

  • glavno nagrado v višini 400 EUR (bruto) in
  • dve dodatni nagradi v višini 300 EUR (bruto).
  • Zmagovalni_a prijavitelj_ica bo dobil_a priložnost samostojne razstave v enem izmed razstavnih prostorov MKC Maribor (v letu 2027).
  • Izbrani projekti bodo predstavljeni na skupinski razstavi v okviru 32. MFRU, ki bo potekal med 2. in 11. oktobrom 2026 v Mariboru.

MKC Maribor bo nagrajenim projektom zagotovil predstavitev in promocijo v okviru festivala. Pridržujemo si pravico, da nagrade ne podelimo v primeru neustreznih ali nekvalitetnih prijav in da prilagodimo višino nagrad glede na razpoložljiva sredstva oziroma število podeljenih nagrad.

Rok za prijavo: 30. junij 2026

Open Call for Student Intermedia Art Projects and the MFRU32 Student Awards

The International Festival of Computer Arts (MFRU) is awarding three prizes and the opportunity to exhibit as part of this year’s 32nd MFRU festival!

Students working in the field of intermedia and digital arts are invited to apply with their original projects. Submissions are not bound to the theme of the festival; alignment with the theme is welcome but not required. The festival awards three prizes and offers exhibition opportunities as part of its programe, thus encouraging contemporary artistic production in the field of intermedia arts and digital practices.

This year’s edition of the festival focuses on understanding the body in speculative digital futures, where it is no longer a stable biological entity, but rather a fluid, data-transient and technologically augmented phenomenon. The focus is on the “body in relation” – a body that emerges in relation to digital technologies, economic and political systems, and broader social conditions. In doing so, it becomes embedded in networks, simulations and processes of continuous optimisation and transformation of identity and materiality.

Submissions that directly address the body as biological or speculative matter are eligible, as well as works that understand the body indirectly – as a point of entry into digital systems, interactive environments, or networks where it becomes part of a broader technology-shaped space.

Your application should include:

  • a short CV of the author with contact details,
  • proof of student status,
  • a description of the artwork (up to 500 words),
  • photo, video and/or other visual material representing the work, and
  • portfolio or website with a presentation of your previous work.

MKC Maribor Youth Culture Centre, a public institution working in the fields of art, culture and youth sector, will award the chosen projects the following prizes:

  • the main award of 400 EUR (gross), and
  • two additional awards of 300 EUR (gross).
  • The winning applicant will be given the opportunity to have a solo exhibition in one of the MKC Maribor exhibition spaces (in 2027).
  • Selected projects will be presented in a group exhibition at the 32nd MFRU, which will take place in Maribor between 2nd and 11th October 2026.

MKC Maribor will provide the winning projects with an opportunity to be showcased and promoted within the framework of the festival. We reserve the right not to award prizes in case of inappropriate or substandard submissions, and to adjust the prize values according to available funds or the number of prizes awarded.

Submission deadline: 30th June 2026

Please submit your application here.

For any additional information, feel free to contact us at mfru@mkc.si. We will protect the personal data collected in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and use it solely for the purpose of conducting this open call.
