# The International Billboard Art Competition Art Moves 2026

**Hosted by:** ARTMOVES RUSZ GALLERY

**Type:** Prize/award | **Location:** Torun, Poland | **Deadline:** July 15, 2026

## About This Program

> "Fear or courage? How can we stop fearing tomorrow and start creating it together?"

The best 8 artworks selected by an international jury panel will be printed and exhibited in the urban space of the city of Torun, Poland in September 2026. The author of the winning entry will receive the Main Award in the amount of PLN 6500 (about EUR 1 533, USD 1 805). The competition is a part of the 19th Festival of Art on Billboards Art Moves. The artwork is supposed to be a creative response to this year's competition theme: Fear or courage? How can we stop fearing tomorrow and start creating it together? The theme explores fear as a dominant contemporary social force — present in politics, economics, media, and the digital space — and calls for courage, independent thought, and collective participation in shaping reality.
