Founder and Director Michael Küppers-Adebisi says the competition is open to multi-media artists that have “an idea that is beyond the western concept of nation” and one that will “illuminate the spiritual being”.

Twenty artists will be selected from the global entries to receive 4000 Euros each, to turn their ideas into project proposals. Following this, one winner will be chosen. The winning project will be transferred into the actual Decolonial Monument, and installed in between building's headquarters in Berlin. 

Prominent Artist/Art historian Chika Okeke-Agulu and Walter Mignolo Argentine semiotician and professor at Duke University are slated to be competition judges. 

Berlin Global Village is a body made up of 50 global non-governmental organizations that work to bring together diverse approaches on making societal changes. It supports small structures and initiative spaces and fosters discourse on Decolonial and other topics.
