STRP Young ACT Award 2026
This year, we are also proud to collaborate with STRP to present the 2026 STRP Young Award for Creative Technology (Young ACT Award), which supports three emerging artists, including one DAE graduate, as they move from graduation into a professional artistic practice.
Selected artists and designers will have the chance to present their graduation projects within STRP’s 2026 exhibition, creating resonance with our annual theme: Big Energy, Slow Futures. The jury will select three winners who will each receive €4,000 alongside artistic and production guidance throughout the development, realisation, and presentation of their work during STRP in spring 2026. The application deadline is 12th October 2025, with nominees announced 16th October 2025, and selection announced 25th October 2025.
