Open Web Award 2011
Open Web Award 2011 :: transmediale in collaboration with Mozilla have announced the creation of the new Open Web Award 2011, a special third platform for creative excellence alongside the transmediale Award 2011 and the Vilém Flusser Theory Award 2011.
The transmediale Open Web Award is a new platform for radical, creative and innovative art works and projects that: are on the web and about the web; that use open source, free, libre or other non-proprietary technology (may they be soft- or hardware); and that incite participation
They can be critical, celebratory or both. Projects should have the potential to demonstrate and/or objectively critique the potential of open web issues, and those employing the creative use of HTML5 and other developing ‘open’ technologies will be given specific consideration. The point is to play with both the idea and materiality of the (open) web in ways that spark new thinking and practice.
The winner(s) of the Open Web Award 2011 will receive a total prize of 5000 EURO, and be given the opportunity to have supported status on Drumbeat http://drumbeat.org. Beyond the specific Open Web Award criteria, the same rules, conditions and application procedures apply as the transmediale Award 2011 http://www.transmediale.de/en/awards2011.
The Deadline for Entries for the transmediale Open Web Award 2011 is July 31, 2010 (2400 CEST / UST+2)
Please read the Conditions of Entry before applying. Submit your work to the Awards competition using the online form. In order to do so you must register by creating your own personal and unique user account or, if you have registered in the past, login to transmediale.
