Terms & Conditions

Apanage Éclat is a recurring format. Each edition is announced with its own parameters (“Edition Details”), including the exhibition location, the exhibition period, the application period and deadline, the steps required to apply, and any theme or brief. Edition Details are published in the open call announcement on Apanage’s social media channels and on the Apanage website. In case of conflict, the Edition Details prevail over these Terms for the respective edition.

Apanage Éclat open calls are in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram, Meta or any other social media platform. All questions and claims relating to an open call are to be directed to Apanage, not to the platform.

An application is valid only if all steps stated in the Edition Details are completed within the application period, including submission of the application form. Apanage verifies the completion of these steps for the selected artist. If a required step has not been completed, Apanage may select another applicant.

Submitted works must be suitable for display on a digital screen in public space. Technical specifications (format, resolution, duration) are communicated to the selected artist.

Where an edition is supported by partners or sponsors, they have no influence on the curatorial selection and do not receive applicants’ personal data.

The selected artist delivers the final file in accordance with the technical specifications no later than seven (7) days before the start of the exhibition. If the file is not delivered on time or does not meet the specifications, Apanage may select another applicant.

As the exhibition takes place in public space, works containing in particular the following cannot be displayed: nudity or sexual content, depictions of violence, weapons, alcohol, tobacco or drugs, discriminatory or hateful content, third-party trademarks or advertising, or content that violates applicable law or the screen operator’s guidelines. Apanage may exclude such works at any stage.

All content is subject to final approval by the screen operator. If the operator rejects the selected work, Apanage may select another applicant. No claims against Apanage arise from a rejection by the operator.

If an exhibition cannot take place as planned, in particular due to the operator, technical failure or force majeure, Apanage arranges an alternative date of comparable nature. Further claims, in particular for compensation, are excluded.

Apanage reserves the right to modify, suspend or end an open call for good cause, in particular if the exhibition slot becomes unavailable, if manipulation is suspected, or if proper execution cannot be ensured for legal or technical reasons.

The selected artist grants Apanage a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to reproduce the work, to adapt it technically to the screen specifications (such as scaling or cropping, without altering its artistic content), to have it displayed by the screen operator, and to present the work and the artist’s name on Apanage-controlled channels for announcement, documentation, archive and promotional purposes, during and after the respective edition. The artist’s statutory moral rights remain unaffected.

The documentation produced by Apanage may be used by both the artist and Apanage for their own marketing and promotional purposes, with reference to Apanage Éclat. Any further use requires prior written agreement.

The participant warrants that they are the sole author and rights holder of the submitted work, or that they hold all necessary rights and permissions. The participant indemnifies Apanage against all claims, damages and costs arising from any infringement of third-party rights in connection with the submitted work.

Apanage may amend these Terms for future editions. Amendments do not apply to the detriment of participants in an edition whose application period has already begun.
