Media Art Platform: CALL FOR BLOGGERS!

This Spring, the Netherlands Media Art institute will launch the Media 
Art Platform, a networking website for people active in media art.

For the Media Art Platform, we are looking for practitioners who are, 
during the course of this year, interested in contributing a (short) 
weblog about their work. We invite researchers and media artists to 
submit proposals for a future weblog of a maximum of 10 short posts.
If your proposal is accepted, you will be invited to write the proposed 
weblog on the Media Art Platform. Each blog post is rewarded with 30 
EUR, with a maximum of 300 EUR per contributor (max. 10 postings).

 From all submitted proposals, four or five will be selected.

Requirements
your blog is preferably about practical aspects of your work. Ideally, 
it should give a unique, ‘behind the scenes’ insight in a working 
process: the development of an art project, the preparation of a 
publication or event, a research process...
ideally, the blog is interesting for a large number of people who are 
active in, or interested in, media art
the blog is written in English
blog posts are short and to-the-point (max. 300 words)
your weblog must be written in the course of a few months between 15 May 
and 31 December 2009. Please indicate which months or which period are 
most convenient for you.
you remain the copyright owner of your postings and you are allowed to 
re-post them on your website or on other platforms, provided that you 
mention that the writing was commissioned for the Media Art Platform.

We are especially interested in weblogs that show a personal 
perspective; especially related to the development of (future) art and 
research projects!

Please submit the following:
a short proposal for your weblog (max. 300 words)
your CV and/or biography
a link to your website (if you have one)
one or more examples of previous writing

Deadline for submissions: 30 April 2009
Please send your submissions to info at mediaartplatform.nl
Selected/accepted writers will be informed around 15 May.
