A NOTE FROM TALENTHOUSE
Early selection are now chosen from all work submitted by 3 June (5pm BST). Selected Creators will be contacted shortly. If your submission was not chosen at this early selection stage, it will be considered again during the regular selection once the Creative Brief has closed on June 10 (5pm BST).
Netflix is loving the work that's been submitted so far! For the second stage, they would like to also see more character-centric work e.g. around Martha, Jonas & Noah.
The end is the beginning and the beginning is the end: The third and highly anticipated final season of DARK casts its sinister shadow. We're inviting fans and creators around the world to help Netflix celebrate the show – which has recently been crowned their most popular original series EVER on Rotten Tomatoes – through large scale artworks inspired by its iconic look and feel, imagery, story, and characters. The show was born in Germany, traveled the world and now we’re bringing it home.
Create unique static artwork that you can imagine being spray-painted onto large walls in Berlin’s urban neighborhoods. Embrace the show’s dark art direction, puzzling plotlines and key characters.
On June 3, Netflix and show creators will make an early selection, and choose up to 4 pieces of work as Selected Creators - each will receive €1,900 and have their work turned into impressive wall murals across Berlin, Germany. Once the Creative Brief has closed, an additional 6 pieces of work will be chosen as Finalists - each will receive €250 and have their work used on Netflix social channels.

ABOUT DARK
DARK is the epic tale of four families caught up in a time-traveling mystery that could spell doom for the entire world. In the third and final season (launching June 27th), the first Netflix original series "made in Germany" that not only hit a nerve in Germany, but was also internationally acclaimed by viewers and critics, reaches its mind-bending conclusion, moving beyond the concept of space and time.
Upon arrival in a new world, Jonas tries to make sense of what this rendition of Winden means for his own fate, while the ones left behind in the other world are left on a quest to break the loop that now not only bends time but also space. Two worlds. Light and dark. And in the center a tragic love story of epic proportions.
Catch up on season 1 & 2, and check out the season 3 teaser (video opposite)!
