Entry
Entry
KASMOS does not accept direct submissions. Public entry into the KASMOS system occurs through KARTIST — the open intake mechanism that operates under KASMOS's institutional framework.
What Entry Is
Entry refers to the point at which original creative work enters the KASMOS system for consideration. It is not a programme, a competition, or an open call in the conventional sense. It is a structured intake function — one that operates on defined cycles and applies consistent institutional standards to the work it receives.
KASMOS itself does not maintain a public submission channel. The institution engages with creative work through internal channels, direct invitation, and — for public entry — through KARTIST. KARTIST is the only mechanism through which unsolicited work is received and considered by the KASMOS system.
Entry into the system is not a commitment to development. It is the beginning of a process of institutional consideration — one that may or may not result in KASMOS deciding to engage further with a body of work. The outcome of that consideration is communicated directly to the creator. It is not announced publicly.
KARTIST
KARTIST is the open intake mechanism of KASMOS. It is not a separate organisation, a brand, or a programme. It is the name KASMOS gives to its structured cycle of public submission — the mechanism through which original creative work from individual artists and small studios enters the system for institutional consideration.
KARTIST operates on defined cycles. Each cycle has a specified intake period. Submissions received outside of an active cycle are not reviewed. Information about current and upcoming cycles is available through the KARTIST channel directly.
