Digital Art in the City


MMMAD Festival in collaboration with Clear Channel and the Creative Campus of the Universidad Europea are launching the biggest open call for digital art in public space to date, inviting digital creators from all over the world to submit 10-second works that respond to the theme of this edition "i'm feeling lucky / voy a tener suerte" and that will be exhibited on more than 400 screens throughout Madrid during the month of May, transforming the whole city into a large open-air museum.

The call for entries will be open from 20 March to 20 April. A jury of experts will select 30 finalists who will see their works displayed on Clear Channel screens in Madrid and will award three €500 prizes thanks to the support of the Creative Campus of the Universidad Europea.
