Call Out for Contributors to Bristol Light Festival

The Opportunity

Over the past six years, Bristol Light Festival has showcased the best and the brightest talents at our city-wide festival in Bristol, UK.

For an opportunity to be showcased at Bristol Light Festival in 2026, we invite designers, architects, light artists – as well as students and institutions – to submit expressions of interest for projects that are engaging to all age groups.

We are particularly interested in:

• Existing works or new ideas exploring light.
• Projects which use technology in innovative ways to encourage play and exploration.
• Sustainable light art which uses green energy solutions.
• Projects that can be scaled to meet our audience demands – we have around 200 people every 20 minutes come through each of our locations at peak times.
• From artists who have a relationship to Bristol, or ideas which speak to the creativity and culture of our city.

Submitted an idea to us before? We still have it in review, so please don’t resubmit the same proposal. We do however, love to hear from artists who have submitted in the past, with new ideas.

The deadline for submissions is 30th May 2025.
