Open calls and residencies
Opportunities for artists across Europe: open calls, residencies, awards and grants. Every listing carries its deadline, whether there is a fee, and the source it was checked against.
Get the calls closing next, every other Tuesday.
BBA Artist Prize 2027
A Berlin open-entry prize with a named jury, cash awards from EUR 300 to EUR 1,000 and a solo show at BBA Gallery for the winner. It charges to enter, so it belongs on the list with the fee showing, not hidden.
2nd Aion Digital Art Prize 2027
An online prize for digital and media art, entered with a link and a description, so there is nothing to ship and nowhere to travel. Read the prize list closely: one Grand Prize of JPY 50,000, and up to 35 further prizes that are certificates only.

What gets listed
This calendar is for artists who apply on their own behalf. No assistant, no gallery filing it for them. So we list what such an artist can actually enter, and leave out what she cannot.
Nothing invitation-only or nomination-only. Nothing that requires gallery representation to submit. Nothing restricted to enrolled students. Every listing is checked against the organiser’s own announcement before it appears, and where there is an entry fee the amount is on the card rather than four pages in.
There are aggregators with thousands of entries. This one is shorter on purpose.
Running an open call or a residency programme? Send it to rebecka@samlio.com and it will be checked and listed. There is no charge and no paid placement.
