[Wikia-l] [Fwd: Prix Ars Electronica 2008 - Call for Entries]

[Jimmy Wales]

I just wanted to forward this to the community at large in case anyone 
wants to nominate their own community... this is a very prestigious 
digital arts competition in Europe, and one of the categories is 
"Digital Communities".  They are into "artsy" things usually but 
Wikipedia won the top prize of Golden Nica a few years ago.

For the 22nd time, Prix Ars Electronica, the foremost international 
prize for computer-based art, calls for entries in the categories 
Computer Animation / Film / VFX, Interactive Art, Hybrid Art, Digital 
Communities, Digital Musics, the Media.Art.Research Award and u19 � 
freestyle computing, Austrian�s largest youth computer competition.

More than 3,300 submissions in 2007 have further enhanced the Prix Ars 
Electronica�s reputation as an internationally representative 
competition honoring outstanding works in the cyberarts. This year, six 
Golden Nicas, twelve Awards of Distinction and approximately 70 Honorary 
Mentions as well as the Media.Art.Research Award are presented to 
participants. The 2008 winners will receive a total of 115,000 euros in 
prize money.

We would like to ask you to help us "spread the word" in your community 
by circulating the information as widely as possible. We also would be 
very glad if you could help us identify some projects, which in your 
opinion should participate in the competition.

For a detailed description of the competition, please consult our 
website http://prixars.aec.at

The deadline for submissions is March 7, 2008.

If you need any further information or support, please do not hesitate 
to come back to me.

With best regards,
