OPEN STAGE
OPEN CALL Share your idea at Forward Festival Berlin 2026.
Some ideas arrive fully formed. Most don’t.
At Forward Festival Berlin, we're creating space for exactly those kinds of ideas – by handing over the mic to YOU.
During one of our festival breaks, five selected creatives will each get five minutes in an intimate session with Marck from Fake Plastic Brands, other festival speakers and fellow festival guests, to put an idea on the table, challenge it in real time and see where it could go next.and to finally turn it into action.
Bring something that’s still taking shape – a concept, a creative experiment, a project, a challenge, an obsession or simply an idea you want to push further.
Whether you’re a practiced speaker or simply someone with an idea they want to move forward, this is a space to test it, share it and explore where it could go.
Submissions are open until August 8th, 2026.
