Submitted concepts will be displayed in a public exhibition in Weimar in May 2017. The best projects will chosen, among other means, with the help of an audience vote. The three winning projects will then be completed with prize money totaling 48,000 Euro, before being shown in the context of an evening tour of Weimar, itself part of a wider festival to take place 11–13 August 2017.
The competition is open for individual and group submissions.
