The Bonn Videonale e.V. begins its work in 1984 by organizing a biannual international festival and competition for video. Today, the Videonale is one of the oldest and most renowned festivals for video art in Germany and Europe, seeing itself as a platform for both young up-and-coming as well as established artists. Since 2016, the organizers have called not only for video entries but explicitly for video installations, performance, and virtual reality works.
