Deadline: 15-Jun-22
Nominations are now open for the Emerging Digital Artists Award (EDAA) to foster experimentation in the work of emerging artists and create opportunities for those working in digital media.
Qualifications
- Your submission must take the form of ‘Digital Art’, defined as a screen-based artwork that demonstrates an engagement with digital technologies in the process of its creation. Analogue processes may be part of the work’s production, but the output must be digital. Digital documentation of traditional media will not be considered.
-
Artwork must:
- Rely on the digital to exist, taking advantage of and experimenting with its immaterial qualities
- Have a visual component (i.e. cannot solely be sound-based)
- Stand on its own when viewed on a single screen or projection (i.e. if the work is part of a larger interactive or physical installation)
-
Digital submissions may include, but are not limited to:
- Images, videos, animations, and GIFs
- Websites, games, and applications
- Augmented and virtual realities
