The LICHTER ART AWARD is an international competition and exhibition, aiming to present the most contemporary, diverse and high-quality artistic works in the field of visual arts related to film. Accepted are works which use film and video as a primary media. The competition is open to visual artists, filmmakers and students from art and film academies. There are no restrictions on the theme of the work. To keep the high quality of the event, we want to make sure the works submitted meet high professional standards. The LICHTER ART AWARD is not a laboratory – it is a showcase for finished works.

Five finalists’ works will be exhibited throughout the festival period from 17th to 22th of March 2015.
The LICHTER ART AWARD is endowed with a 1.000 Euro prize for the best work. A jury of art experts will award the best work.
