Contest for Visual Music
Deadline 30th May 2025
MuVi7 invites artists, musicians, designers and performers, as well as professors and university students, to submit proposals of videos to be part of a public exhibition, featuring performances and discussions.
Visual Music exhibition is part of the VIII International Congress "Synaesthesia: Science & Art", which will take place from the 23th to the 25th of October 2025 at Convento Capuchinos and Palacio Abacial, Alcalá la Real, Jaén, Spain.
Deadline for submissions
The deadline for submissions is 30 May 2025 New deadline for submissions is 10 June 2025
Topic
The topic of the exhibition is visual music and synaesthesia. By “visual music”, we refer to any representation, whether purely visual or audiovisual, inspired by music.
The correspondences between the visual and musical elements may result from synesthetic perceptions (where the visuals are mental images evoked by music); or from studies exploring analogies between visual and musical languages (rhythms, tonality, texture, colours, etc.). A narrative thread is not required.
Who can participate?
The call is open to three categories of participants:
. Participant A: professionals (artists, musicians, designers and performers)
. Participant B: university professors.
. Participant C: university students or recent graduated (within the last 24 months).
What can you submit?
Any form of moving image (video, animations, etc.) – only visual kinetic work, audiovisual, or interactive – is eligible for submission.
· University professors can submit collections of didactic works.
· Students may submit one or more works created as part of a university course.
The submitted works must be unpublished and free of copyright restrictions.
How to make submissions
Submissions can be made through the following form: https://forms.office.com/e/9dbthWawbg
The submitted files should preferably be in MP4 format (codec H264) and must not exceed 500Mb. For questions about other formats, please contact: info@artecitta.es, or info@sinestesie.it.
Only one work (or collection of works) can be entered on each form. Each author can submit a maximum of two Works/Forms.
What are the fees?
It is possible to submit one or more works to MuVi7 without paying any fees
However, the participation in the VIII International Congress Synaesthesia: Science & Art requires payment of the congress registration fee.
Prize and publication
The best three work will receive the MuVi7 award, including a certificate from the Artecittà Foundation, and respectively 30, 20 and 10, copies of the MuVi7 book.
The Fundación Internacional Artecittà will promote the best works in the artistic circuits.
The 15 best works will be selected for the exhibition (5 from each participant category).
The best 24 works (along with their descriptions), will be published on a book and ebook, including links to the videos. The works must be unpublished and free of copyright restrictions. The authors will receive a free digital copy of the book.
