Submission regulations:

1. Submitted projects must have been produced in 2025 or 2026. Older projects will not be accepted.
2. Eligible submissions include standalone XR experiences, XR installations, and fulldome projects. The festival accepts VR, AR, and MR works. Projects compatible with Meta Quest 3 devices are preferred, whether standalone or connected to a PC.
3. For fulldome projects, we prefer sequence-based files suitable for digital planetarium screens. As these projects are considered for presentation in a planetarium, we strongly encourage submitting the highest possible image quality already at the preselection stage.
4. If a project requires specific technological add-ons or tools, the submitter must provide a clear description, ideally accompanied by a screengrab or video demonstrating these elements.
5. Applicants will be notified of the selection results in late September 2026.
6. The submission deadline is July 10, 2026.
