Get matched →The Federal Republic of Germany is announcing an open, two-phase 'Art in Architecture' competition for professional visual artists and artist groups. This competition seeks artistic solutions for the foyer of the replacement building for the Central Institute of the Medical Service of the Bundeswehr (ZInstSanBw Kiel) at the Kronshagen facility near Kiel.
Up to 250,000.00 Euro including VAT is available for the realization of the art, covering fees, management, material, and production costs, including all incidental expenses. A total prize sum of 14,000.00 Euro including VAT is available for prize money. Participants in the 1st phase will not receive an expense allowance. Competition participants in the 2nd phase (a maximum of 10 individual applications or working groups) will each receive an expense allowance of 4,000.00 Euro including VAT, provided a submission compliant with the competition conditions is submitted on time.
The competition is an open, two-phase process conducted anonymously. Participation begins on Friday, October 2, 2026, exclusively via the online competition platform wettbewerbe aktuell (https://ovf.wettbewerbe-aktuell.de/de/wettbewerb-51023). The competition language is German, and all documents must be submitted in German.
Participants are asked to develop fundamental artistic approaches in the form of an idea sketch with conceptual considerations for the new building. The jury will select up to 10 concepts for the 2nd phase.
In this phase, a detailed elaboration of the design for realization is expected, going beyond the fundamental approaches.

The eligibility check will be performed after the 1st competition phase. Participants who do not meet the eligibility requirements will be excluded from the 2nd competition phase. Legal entities are not eligible to participate. Involvement of individual members of working groups in more than one working group is not permitted and will lead to the exclusion of all affected works.
