WONDER?

WONDER pays tribute to the creativity and innovative ideas of talent.

WONDER is unique in Belgium as a vibrant platform and connector for design, innovation, technology and art. Young talent and established values from the broad creative field, industry and education put forward their vision of a better future.

In 2024, the festival presented 55 creative exhibitions and installations spread over 30 locations in the centre of Kortrijk. At the main location, the Budafabriek, we registered over 16,000 visitors. For edition 2025, we expect more than 20,000 visitors.

WONDER welcomes a very diverse group of visitors, both individuals, professionals and students of secondary and higher education.

Who can Participate?

The call is open to both national and international creatives from all creative fields (designers, artists, collectives, citizens), various organisations (schools, galleries, shops, professional design studios, organisations) and companies.

Anyone can submit a proposal, as long as the content, presentation and quality are in line with the festival. Selected participants will be included in the official festival programme. Where possible, we also link and match participants with each other: in terms of content or location. We aim for a community in which everyone reinforces each other.

Submissions Deadline: 17 April 2025
