SPAM New Media Festival 2025

September 12th-14th, 2025 (Seattle, WA, US)
Open Call for Creative Work Submissions

Deadline: May 16, 2025 5pm PT

SPAM New Media Festival invites artists and practitioners working with
digital, experimental and emerging artforms to submit work for the 2025
Festival.

We seek proposals for creative work to be presented at the Georgetown Steam
Plant in Seattle.

Potential submissions include, but are not limited to, interactive and
immersive works and installations, video and projection mapping, audio and
music installations and live performances, artist talks, workshops,
demonstrations, and screenings. While we ask that applicants take the
venue’s unique qualities into account, submissions do not need to respond
specifically to the site in theme or concept.

We see the festival as a vessel/container for holding and germinating
artist projects in different stages of recognition and development, and
welcome contributions which entangle with, emerge from, or leak into these
different nodes of engagement with digital art and culture. We are asking
for artist contributions which will help us to expand our critical dialogue
with new media art, digital culture and technology-driven work.

–
Proposals should include:

* Artist Statement (up to 300 words)
* Explanation of creative work, to be used for the selection process only
(500-800 words)
* Images which will help festival organizers to best understand and
visualize your proposed creative work
* Technical requirements, including installation or any other needs
specific to your work
* Relevant links to documentation of previous and/or proposed work

Artist Compensation

SPAM New Media Festival functions as a grassroot community of art workers
and depends on the in-kind donation of venues and other resources from our
supporters. We are, therefore, unable to cover travel or transport expenses
for participating artists. While compensating artists is an important value
of the festival,  we are still working hard to fundraise for the 2025
festival, so do not yet know the scale of compensation we can offer artists
this year.
