I'm very pleased to report that this blog has been nominated for Prix Ars Electronica, the annual "International Competition for CyberArts."
Since 1987, the Prix Ars Electronica has served as an interdisciplinary platform for everyone who uses the computer as a universal medium for implementing and designing their creative projects at the interface of art, technology and society. The competition is organized by the Ars Electronica Center and ORF’s Upper Austria Regional Studio, and the prizes are awarded during the Ars Electronica Festival each year. The Prix Ars Electronica is one of the most important awards for creativity and pioneering spirit in the field of digital media.
We will be competing in the "Digital Communities" category, which covers:
Political, social, and cultural projects, initiatives, groups, and scenes from all over the world utilizing digital technology to better society and assume social responsibility.
Just to be nominated is quite an honor, and it is both gratifying and humbling. Next week, juries made up of "experts from around the world" will convene in Linz, Austria, to evaluate the entries and select the winners.
Wish us luck!
