The Energy and Environment Institute at Rottenburg University of Applied Sciences is inviting creative minds to embellish the hydrogen plant with an artistic design concept. We are looking for talented artists who would like to embellish the technology container of the hydrogen plant with a creative design concept. The aim is to harmonize technology and aesthetics and at the same time set a visible sign for the energy transition. The theme of the design should be Hydrogen & Future Energy.
Interested parties can submit their sketches and designs by February 7, 2026 at the latest. A jury will then select the most convincing concept. The winner will be announced at the end of February 2026.
The winner of the competition can look forward to prize money of 5,000 euros as well as the opportunity to make their work visible to the public.
The hydrogen plant not only fulfils technical functions, but also plays an important role in the university’s teaching and public relations work. It serves as a visual aid for students, is presented at university events and is regularly part of specialist tours and visits. An artistic design is intended to emphasize the innovative character of the facility and increase its visibility in everyday campus life.
