Nuremberg, candidate to the European Capital of Culture title for 2025 in Germany, is looking for artistic ideas and projects under the motto PAST FORWARD. Applications are accepted for submission until March 20th, 2020.

We are looking for artistic ideas and projects which will take our bid forward. The first hurdle is behind us – and now we are continuing the process with all intensity. In the final selection round of the competition for the title of European Capital of Culture 2025, it is the artistic and cultural programme in particular which will play a very significant part. During the entire bid process, we have been banking on the participation of the population in the city and in the region in all its diversity.

For our second bid book, we are looking for excellent and outstanding ideas by artists or artists’ collectives which deal with our motto PAST FORWARD and the topics brought forward in Nuremberg’s bid. Creative artists will be completely free in their choice of medium: visual arts, film, literature, drama, photography, dance, architecture, design, fashion or crafts – everything is possible – across all boundaries.
