[Commlist] CFP: SPAM New Media Festival 2025

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.
