international design competition

AMADEUS Festival Vienna proudly launches its fourth International Design Competition 2025/2026, dedicated to celebrating and uplifting emerging talents in visual arts and graphic design.

Framed within the Festival’s communication strategy, the competition serves as a creative platform for artists whose work bridges visual expression and classical music. By recognising and rewarding outstanding designs, it not only amplifies the voices of fresh talent but also helps shape and promote the Festival’s international identity.

In its 2025/2026 edition, the AMADEUS Festival International Design Competition invites participants to create a poster design for AMADEUS Festival Vienna 2026. We welcome a wide range of artistic perspectives and encourage bold, innovative approaches.

Guiding this year’s competition is the theme: Metamorphosis.
