The University of Applied Arts Vienna is launching a competition of ideas for new toilet pictograms – moving beyond the usual skirt vs. trousers, male vs. female symbols. We are looking for signs that include everyone. New pictograms are being sought for all types of use!

All regular students of the University of Applied Arts Vienna can participate. Deadline for submissions is February 28th, 2026. You can find all details about the competition in the Open Call on the Angewandte website.
