CYNETart - International competition for computer-based art
call for entries\_03 >>deadline March 31, 2003<<

The annual international CYNETart festival has been showing results of
the artistic use of new media since 1997. Its main focus is on the
change of perception caused by new media. We would like to invite media
artists, scientists who work interdisciplinarily, as well as computer
scientists to participate in this year's competition. The main criteria
for the selection of the award winning works are artistic quality and
the concept in its media-based realisation. In recent years,
interdisciplinary projects as well as contributions to the creation of
open cybernetic systems have been given main emphasis. The competition
and the festival are organised by the Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau e.V.
in cooperation with the City of Dresden, Germany.

Categories: realtime processing, audio processing, visual processing,
net projects, software

Awards
There's a maximum of four award winners who will be chosen from the
entries regardless of categories by an international jury. About twelve
works will receive the jury's recognition. The prize money adding up to
20,000 Euro is sponsored by private enterprises.

Presentation
A choice of the entries will be presented during the international
CYNETart festival expected to be held in May 2004. The organisers will
make this choice. In addition to that, all award-winning and recognised
projects and all presented works will be published in the festival
catalogue. The authors of the presented works will receive a festival
pass for the CYNETart.
