VRHAM!, Germany’s first artistic virtual reality festival, has opened its call for submissions. The deadline to submit work is March 3, and the festival takes place in Hamburg, Germany, June 7-15 at the Oberhafenquartier.

This year’s theme is DIS:SOLUTION: “We are looking for artists to present their own concepts of dis:solution, de:limitation, etc. Where do we cross borders, where do they blur? Whether your focus is on media, material, political, physical or associative aspects: how do the artistic considerations of your VR experience relate to our subject of “DIS:SOLUTION”?

VRHAM! is looking for submissions in the following categories.

VRHAM!’s main program of artistic VR/AR/XR works

Hamburg emerging artists, which aims to introduce young VR artists to an international audience

VRHAM! residencies, where two teams of up to three participants create VR art and 360 film with the help of industry mentors

During the first day of VRHAM!, the winners of the VRHAMMY! Awards will be announced, with the main program award recipeint winning €5000 and the emerging artist recipient winning €2500.

Throughout the conference, there will be workshops and educational events to learn VR/AR/XR production.
