Grand prize of the European Commission honoring Innovation in Technology, Industry and Society stimulated by the Arts
Extended submission deadline: March 11, 2024!
The S+T+ARTS yearly competition is back to award two innovative projects at the nexus of science, technology and the arts that have what it takes to make a significant impact on economic and social innovation. Two prizes, each with €20,000 prize money, are offered to honor innovative projects at the intersection of science, technology and the arts: The emphasis of both prizes lies on the creative appropriation and employment of technologies as well as the search for unique constellations of collaboration from the STARTS fields.
➕ Grand Prize – Innovative Collaboration
Honors innovative collaboration between industry or technology and the artistic (and creative) sectors that open up new avenues for innovation.
➕ Grand Prize – Artistic Exploration

Winners will be prominently featured at Ars Electronica and other events of the consortium partners INOVA+, French Tech Grand Provence, Media Solutions Center Baden-Württemberg, Salzburg Festival, Sonar, T6Ecosystems and Kustodie at TUD Dresden University of Technology.
