Submission guidelines for participating in the /’fu:bar/ exhibition and production:
#applications
- To be reviewed, the work needs to be submitted in its final format (size, quality, etc.) and not as a preview.
- As we cannot remunerate you for your (art)work, we support you applying previously created, recycled, reinterpreted and repurposed art.
- Ideally the work submitted should be of a newer date but regardless we might accept relevant work of any age.
- Up to three (pieces or series) submissions are allowed (each submitted in its own application form). Links to general personal websites and work previously already shown at /’fu:bar/ will not be considered.
- While applying your work, you can optionally select to submit it to be featured in our non-profit multimedia glitch art documentary production.
- Video submissions might get selected to be screened during the main festival program week.

- Video pieces need to be baked (recompressed and playable in video players).
- If you wish, please include a web-optimized version of your work – otherwise we might optimize it.
