3. JavaArtists of the Year Award

The 'JavaArtist of the Year Award' had been initiated
by JavaMuseum in 2001 in order to honor outstanding
artists working with New Media technologies, and encourage the use of
Internet technologies as media for artistic working.

It is an honorary Award, not connected with a physical prize.
The awarded artist(s), however will be invited to present their working in
an online solo-show on JavaMuseum
which remains for permanent as an art recource on JavaMuseum server.

Award Procedure
It is not possible for an artist to make an application
for being included in the award procedure,
nor can external instances make any proposal.
An independant rotating  jury system  is selecting
and nominating from the artists participating in the competition,
as well as from others, who do not participate,
and determine the winners from the nominees.

The Award has been given in 2001 for the first time:
To three exceptional young female net.artists of
international reputation, they are:
Mary Ann Breeze (Australia), Jody Zellen (USA) and Tiia Johansson (Estonia).
See also the solo shows of the 2001 Award winners
