Who Will Win The BAD Award 2024????

Twelve teams of artists/designers & scientists are competing again this year for the Bio Art & Design Awards. All will pitch their grand plans on Friday 7 June, first to the jury in the morning, and to the public in the afternoon as well. Three of them will walk away at the end of the day with 25,000 euros each, with which they can realize their inspiring plans. If you are curious about those plans come and listen to them at MU or hook in on the stream. 

Audiences for the public pitches are welcome from 15.00 at MU Hybrid Art House in the setting of the exhibition WOMBTOMBS.
