Awards & Benefits
Selection as a Spotlight LINA Fellow for 2026–2027. Invitation to the LINA Forum in Barcelona, Spain (22–23 October 2026). Accommodation provided for one representative per selected Fellow. Travel reimbursement of up to €350 to attend the LINA Forum. Promotional materials (photo and video portraits) and promotion via LINA's communication channels. Potential collaboration opportunities with LINA Member organisations within the LINA Architecture Programme, which may include mentoring, facilitation, residencies, research, writing, exhibiting, public engagement, or programming. All applicants (selected or not) are eligible to collaborate in LINA Architecture Programme activities over the following year, and all applications are published on the LINA website.
Application & Selection
Applications are submitted online and reviewed and voted on by representatives from each LINA Member organisation, based on innovation, originality, and ingenuity. Selection as a Spotlight LINA Fellow does not guarantee direct funding or collaboration with a LINA Member; proposals are more likely to be adjusted to fit a Member's specific programme requirements, or applicants may be invited to develop an entirely different idea. Applicants not selected as Spotlight Fellows may still become 'Invited LINA Fellows' if a LINA Member initiates direct contact with them. Several Zoom Q&A sessions are offered biweekly for applicants with questions about the call.
