>I'm not sure what folks think of this, but i figured i'd at least send an 
>email. We're running out of funds for imc-finance, but we aren't running 
>out of good projects within the indymedia network which need funds. Ars 
>Electronica is an annual net arts conference thing, and they have an award 
>which includes between 5,000 and 10,000 euros for various categories. This 
>year they launched a category called 'Digital Communities' which it seems 
>would include indymedia.
>
>I didn't pay much attention to it, but it seems like we might be able to 
>win if we decided to apply and put a little attention in to the 
>application. I'm not sure we want to, and i'm sure we don't have a decision 
>making process to do it. So i'm just sending an email out. The money comes 
>from Ars Electronica, but as far as i can tell they actually get the prize 
>money comes from an evil corporation SAP.
>
>More about the prize is below in this email, but also online here:

>I'm happy to help with the application, IF people think it's a good idea 
>and want to do it.  It's not a grant, it's a prize, and there are no 
>strings attached or implication of future funding or requirements about HOW 
>we use the money.

>En Castellano:
>La idea es aplicamos para la premio de Ars Electronica en la tema de 
>communidades digitales. Es un primio de 5000 o 10000 euros, podemos usar 
>para dar mas plata al fundo globales para proyectos. Hay un pagina de 
>descripción sobre el premio en castellano aca:
>http://www.aec.at/es/prix/communities/communities.asp
>
>La plata es desde Ars Electronica, pero ellos recibieron plata desde SAP un 
>empresas técnico, malo, como todo los empresas.
>
>Puedo ayudar con la aplicación para el premio, pero no quiero hacer nada 
>sin la apoyo de gente en esta lista. La plata esta por el premio, no un 
>subsidio o 'grant' para cual quiera proyecto y podemos usar la plata por 
>exactamente que queremos.

>Prix Ars Electronica 2004
>Prix Ars Electronica 2004 is the 18th editition of the foremost 
>international competition for computer-based art. To mark Ars Electronica's 
>25th anniversary in 2004, it is being expanded to include a “Digital 
>Communities” domain dedicated to social developments of great current 
>relevance. Deadline for submissions is March 26, 2004.
>
>
>Prix Ars Electronica 2004 will be awarded in the following categories: 
>"Computer Animation / Visual Effects", "Digital Musics", "Interactive Art", 
>"Net Vision" and "Digital Communities".
>
>Computer Animation / Visual Effects
>The “Computer Animation / Visual Effects” category has been part of the 
>Prix Ars Electronica since its very inception. It recognizes excellence in 
>independent work in the arts and sciences as well as in high-end commercial 
>productions in the film, advertising and entertainment industries. In this 
>category, artistic originality counts just as much as masterful technical 
>achievement.
>
>Digital Musics
>Contemporary digital sound productions from the broad spectrum of 
>“electronica” come in for consideration in the “Digital Musics” category, 
>as do works combining sound and media, computer compositions ranging from 
>electro-acoustic to experimental music, or sound installations. This 
>category’s programmatic agenda is to expand horizons beyond the confines of 
>individual genres and artistic currents.
>
>Interactive Art
>The “Interactive Art” category is dedicated to interactive works in all 
>forms and formats, from installations to performances. Here, particular 
>consideration is given to the realization of apowerful artistic concept 
>through the especially appropriate use of technologies, the innovativeness 
>of the interaction design, and the work’s inherent potential to expand the 
>human radius of action.
>
>Net Vision
>The "Net Vision" category singles out for recognition artistic projects in 
>the Internet that display brilliance in how they have been engineered, 
>designed and- especially-conceived, works that are outstanding with respect 
>to innovation, interface design and the originality of their content. The 
>way in which a work of net-based art deals with the online medium is 
>essential in this category.
>
>Digital Communities
>“Digital Communities” encompasses the wide-ranging social consequences of 
>the Internet as well as the latest developments in the domain of mobile 
>communications and wireless networks. “Digital Communities” will spotlight 
>bold and inspired innovations impacting human coexistence, bridging the 
>digital divide regarding gender as well as geography, or creating 
>outstanding social software and enhancing accessibility of 
>technological-social infrastructure. This new category will showcase the 
>political potential of digital and networked systems and is thus designed 
>as a forum for a broad spectrum of projects, programs, initiatives and 
>phenomenain which social innovation is taking place, as itwere, in real 
>time.
>
>u19-freestyle computing
>Competition for young people under 19 in Austria
>  Prix Ars Electronica u19-freestyle computing is an open category for all 
>works that have been designed with or executed by the computer-from 
>websites to software to robots. “freestyle computing” stands for freedom 
>from the restrictions associated with the use of different tools and for a 
>competition that pays just as much attention to innovation and creativity 
>as it does to the age of the individual submitting it.
>
>[The next idea]
>Art and Technology Grant

>spin-off the highly successful u19 competition. Artists age 19-27 are

>winner receives a stipend in the amount of 7,500 Euro and will be invited 
>to spend a term as Artist in Residence at the Ars Electronica Futurelab-a 
>great opportunity to bring project ideas to fruition and subsequently to 
>present them to a large international audience at the Ars Electronica 
>Festival.
