Open call (DIS)COVER
Will you be designing the cover of De Geus Magazine?
The Geuzenhuis is the home base for Ghent’s free thinkers and is launching its (DIS)COVER open call for the second time. We invite young artistic talent (aged 18–30) to translate our core value of FREE THINKING into a powerful, contemporary cover for De Geus Magazine. Illustration, photography, graphic art or painting: the medium doesn’t matter. As long as it challenges, raises questions and doesn’t leave you indifferent.
With (DIS)COVER, they aim to give young creators space to express themselves critically and socially. They are looking for an independent image that conveys humanistic values; it may be activist or playful and should encourage reflection (we’ll steer clear of explicit party politics). Humour or a more sober tone? Confrontational or unifying? The choice is yours. Formal training isn’t a must, but a desire to make your voice heard certainly is!
What do they offer?
- Featured on the cover of the summer edition (July–September) of De Geus magazine
- Prize money of €500
- Exhibition of selected entries at the Geuzenhuis, over the weekend of 28–31 May (opening on Thursday evening)
- Interview with the winner in the magazine
- Online publication via the Geuzenhuis’s communication channels
Deadline: 4 May 2026
