[rohrpost] transmediale Open Web Award 2011

[Markus Huber]

Dear Rohrpostler,

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
 > use open and free technology
 > incite participation and/or collaboration

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.

The Deadline for Entries for the transmediale Open Web Award 2011 is 
also July 31, 2010 (2400 CEST / UST+2)


Cheers,

Markus
