Dear Jimmy,
For the third time, Prix Ars Electronica, the foremost international
prize for computer-based art, is starting its call for entries for
"Digital Communities" projects. The category "Digital Communities"
has
been a great success in its 2004 and 2005 editions and is singling out
for recognition projects of great sociopolitical relevance.
The Digital Communities category is open to political, social and
cultural projects, initiatives, groups and scenes from all over the
world that display contentious commitment in coming up with smart,
successful ways of deploying digital technologies to solve social
problems. Particular emphasis is placed on a project’s degree of
community innovation, its sustainability and its use of technology in a
way that makes good sense and is attuned to the needs of the people
meant to benefit from it. Digital Communities projects should make it
easier for people to access technology, networks and the Digital Commons.
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 category, please consult our
website___ <http://www.aec.at/en/prix/communities/communities.asp>_.
