[spectre] TEKS and PNEK might have to close down!

TEKS and PNEK might have to close down!

TEKS, Trondheim Electronic Arts Centre, and PNEK, the Norwegian  
Production Network for Electronic Arts, have reached the 3 year limit  
for financial support from Arts Council Norway. We have therefore  
applied for governmental funding from 2006. The proposed National  
Budget does not suggest further support for TEKS and PNEK despite the  
government’s own cultural policy guidelines which states that TEKS  
and PNEK must be given permanent funding. For this reason we might be  
forced to close down early next year.

We want of course to fight this situation, and call for support from  
all who find us to be an important resource! You can indeed help by  
signing a petition on this webpage: http://www.teks.no/petition

Thank you in advance!
