switch is an event that promotes and shows contemporary works of moving 
image in a public context. It offers an alternative way to navigate 
familiar places, creating new encounters. switch locates itself outside 
of the big city and applies itself to the rhythm of smaller places.

VisualArtists working with film/video/animation are invited to submit 
works responding to the theme of Balance.

Terms of Participation:

- There is no entry fee for submissions.

- You may enter one work per applicant.

- An artists fee of 250 euro incl. VAT [or relevant currency equivalent] 
will be paid per selected artist for the showing of their work. What 
does this mean? Last year new VAT laws in Ireland came into being: it 
means that the artists fee of 250 euro incl. VAT comes out at about 207 
euro [or relevant currency equivalent], as VAT is withheld by the Irish 
state.
- Selection: A selection panel will consider each submitted film, and 
may do additional selection by invitation, up until the selection 
announcement date. The panels decision is final.
