BAD Award

The yearly Bio Art & Design (BAD) Award aims to stimulate emerging designers and artists to delve into the world of bio art and design, and produce new multidisciplinary work. This can encompass numerous fields - from sustainability, food and health, to biotechnology, horticulture, and agriculture, from new materials to ethics and from molecules to the universe and every bio entity in-between, natural and synthetic. 

As of 2022, the BAD Award is made possible and will be supported by an all Eindhoven based collaborative consortium of cultural partners: BioArt Laboratories, Dutch Design Foundation, MU Hybrid Art House, and Next Nature Network.

Apply now!

The applications can be submitted ultimately Tuesday 15 March 2022 (deadline 23.59, CET), using the online registration system on badaward.nl. If you have any questions, please contact badaward@mu.nl.
