Update Open-Call Results

We would like to thank all artists and collectives for their application to Fringify – Independent Arts Festival Hamburg 2026.

This year, we received over 900 applications. The selection process posed a significant challenge for the jury, as many artistically compelling works were submitted.

All applicants were informed by email.

However, we have since identified that some emails were not delivered without our knowledge.

If you did not receive an email, this unfortunately means that your work was not selected.

This decision does not reflect the artistic quality of your work, but is based on programmatic considerations as well as the technical and spatial capacities of the participating venues.

Aufgrund der großen Anzahl an Bewerbungen ist individuelles Feedback nicht möglich. Wir bitten um Verständnis.

Wir laden Sie herzlich ein, das Festival als Publikum zu besuchen.

We offer two complimentary tickets per application.

If you would like to make use of this offer, please contact us by May 18 at:
