# Open Call

An **Open Call** (or *Ausschreibung* in German) is a public invitation for artists, students, or researchers to apply for a specific opportunity. In the context of the [[cdfi]], open calls are used for:

- **Scholarships:** Financial support for artistic development (e.g., [[caspar-david-friedrich-stipendium]]).
- **Residencies:** Providing space and time to work in a specific location (e.g., **FRIEDA 23** or **Trittauer Wassermühle**).
- **Exhibitions:** Inviting works for a themed show (e.g., the "Under Construction" exhibition at **GEH8**).
- **Awards:** Competitions for specific media like film or photography.
