Highlight: Turn a blank billboard into your next big art moment! The Art Moves Billboard Competition, co founded by the City of Torun and the Kujawsko Pomorskie Region in Poland, invites artists from anywhere in the world, with a special focus on younger creators, to submit up to three original artworks for free. Each year, the competition introduces a new theme, and for 2026, artists are asked to explore “Fear or Courage? How to Stop Fearing Tomorrow and Start Co Creating It?” Eight winning works will be displayed on real billboards throughout Torun, Poland, transforming everyday city spaces into a giant public art gallery, with one artwork receiving the final PLN 6,500 prize. The deadline is in mid to late July 2026, so grab your ideas, get creative, and show the world what you can make! And hey, if your art ends up on a billboard, at least your parents can finally say your work is going somewhere.
