Deadline for Submission: March 18, 2016, 11:59 PM EST

Seeking entries for the ATHICA Micromedia Fest, a juried showcase of very
short animated and photographic media objects (animated GIFs, Vine videos,
and one-minute-or-less videos), to be shown on gallery kiosks and at
scheduled screenings. The GIF and Vine microformats are now responsible
for democratizing the short form video across the Internet, in which
average people can easily create and proliferate micromedia in order to
engage, enlighten, and entertain. Micromedia bring together the
spontaneity of participative culture and the aesthetics of digital
artistic practice in a radical recontextualization of what it means to
make and experience art.

Entries are in the form of video links (Vine, YouTube, Vimeo, or other
host) or links to animated GIFs. Up to three files can be submitted in a
category for the entry fee of $10.00, which goes to support the prizes and
sustain the gallery. All files must be made available online for judging
through FilmFreeway. You will need to create an account in order to
submit. Please do not submit files that include material to which you
don’t own the copyright. Copyright remains with the artist but ATHICA has
the right to exhibit the selected works in multiple events and venues for
the duration of the exhibit, March 18, 2016 – April 9, 2016 and the right
to exhibit the selected works online at the ATHICA website and in
promotional materials. Artists will be credited. No materials will be
returned. No refunds will be made for entry fees. Prizes will be awarded
in five categories based on the jury’s selection.

Best in Show $100
Best GIF $25
Best Vine $25
Best One-Minute-Or-Less Video $25
Audience Choice $25
