Papers describing the works or designs must be submitted via internet no later than 28 February 2017 to the website at www.weltenbauer.global, which also provides detailed technical information.
A panel will select the ten best works and decide on the winners of the first and second prize who will receive 1,000 euros in prize money. The third-placed award will be a 'people's choice'. The awards ceremony will be held in the Palais am Funkturm on Tuesday, 20 June 2017.
