This new edition will take place in two locations:

Can you express your world in 20x20 cm? Join the MEAM Hall 2026 Challenge

Alongside the official call, this year we have launched an artistic challenge —announced on our social media— to make this edition one to remember. If you don't follow us on Instagram, don't miss out!

The challenge is simple: dare to create your artwork and become part of the MEAM Hall community before the registration deadline of 31 May.

Important: The challenge is not the official artwork registration. It is a voluntary pre-registration designed to help you keep track of the deadline and stay motivated throughout your creative process.

By joining the challenge:

• You will receive exclusive reminders so you don't miss the 31 May deadline
• We will be able to follow your creative process on social media
• You will become part of the official MEAM Hall community

In the form, tell us where you are in the process: whether you are still working on the idea, whether you already have a sketch underway, or whether your artwork is almost finished. We want to know how your creativity is flowing so we can give you that final push!
