PEN/Jerard Fund Award for Emerging Women Writers of Nonfiction, PEN American Center
The award is given to a woman writer at an early point in her career. The award honors a work in progress of general nonfiction distinguished by high literary quality. Because PEN (www.pen.org) believes that the art of essay writing is not adequately prized in America and that women writers of nonfiction are as deserving of as much critical attention as those of fiction and poetry, the PEN/Jerard Fund Award seeks out a work of distinction which might otherwise go under-recognized. The minimum requirement for applicants is the publication of at least one magazine article in a national publication or in a major literary magazine. Applicants must not have published more than one book of any kind. Applicants must be residents of the United States. No age restriction. awards@pen.org or 212-334-1660 ext. 101 for more information.

World's largest CyberArts competition - Six Golden Nicas and € 110,000 in prize money - Entries commence January 10th.
Creatives across the entire spectrum of media art and technology may begin submitting their work to the 2005 Prix Ars Electronica on January 10th. The categories range from [the next idea] and u19 competitions for young people to the classic Ars Electronica disciplines-Digital Musics, Net Vision, Computer Animation and Interactive Art-all the way to Digital Communities with its programmatic commitment to sociopolitical innovation. The deadline for submissions is March 10, 2005.
The Prix Ars Electronica is being held for the 19th time this year. This cyberarts competition is conceived as an open platform for works representing a broad spectrum of disciplines in the digital media field at the interface of art, technology and society. Since 1987, the Prix Ars Electronica is the most important and most successful international showcase of the best of digital media art.
>>> Details about the categories are provided on the following pages.
To submit an entry and for more information, log on to www.aec.at/prix
The Categories
COMPUTER ANIMATION / VISUAL EFFECTS
The "Computer Animation / Visual Effects" category has been part of the Prix Ars Electronica since its very inception. It recognizes excellence in independent work in the arts and sciences as well as in high-end commercial productions in the film, advertising and entertainment industries. In this category, artistic originality counts just as much as masterful technical achievement.
DIGITAL MUSICS
Contemporary digital sound productions from the broad spectrum of "electronica" come in for consideration in the "Digital Musics" category, as do works combining sound and media, computer compositions ranging from electro-acoustic to experimental music, and sound installations. This category's programmatic agenda is to expand horizons beyond the confines of individual genres and artistic currents.
INTERACTIVE ART
The "Interactive Art" category is dedicated to interactive works in all forms and formats, from installations to performances. Here, particular consideration is given to the realization of a powerful artistic concept through the especially appropriate use of technologies, the innovativeness of the interaction design, and the work's inherent potential to expand the human radius of action.
NET VISION
The "Net Vision" category singles out for recognition artistic projects in the Internet that display brilliance in how they have been engineered, designed and-especially-conceived, works that are outstanding with respect to innovation, interface design and the originality of their content. The way in which a work of net-based art deals with the online medium is essential in this category.
DIGITAL COMMUNITIES
For the second time in 2005, Prix Ars Electronica will honor important achievements by digital communities. This category focuses attention on the wide-ranging social impact of the Internet as well as on the latest developments in the fields of social software, mobile communications and wireless networks. "Digital Communities" spotlights bold and inspired innovations impacting human coexistence-efforts to bridge the geographical as well as gender-based digital divide, to create outstanding social software or to enhance the accessibility of technological-social infrastructure. This category showcases the political potential of digital and networked systems and is thus designed as a forum for the consideration of a broad spectrum of projects, programs, initiatives and phenomena in which social innovation is taking place, as it were, in real time. A Golden Nica, two Awards of Distinction and up to 12 Honorary Mentions will be awarded in the Digital Communities category in 2005.
[the next idea]
Art and Technology Grant
The aim of this grant focusing on the mutually enriching interplay of art and technology is to nurture concepts for the future that young thinkers are coming up with today. This category's target group includes students at universities, art schools, polytechnic colleges and other educational institutions, as well as all other interested persons throughout the world between the ages of 19 and 27, who have developed a not-yet-realized concept in the fields of media art, media design or media technology. The winner will receive a € 7,500 grant and an invitation to spend a semester as scientific assistant and artist-in-residence at the Ars Electronica Futurelab.
u19 freestyle computing
"u19 freestyle computing" is Austria's foremost computer competition for young people. Helping youngsters to bring their ideas to fruition and exhibit their work, and nurturing their abilities, creativity and inventiveness in working with modern technologies and new media is the mission of Prix Ars Electronica's u19 freestyle computing category. Just as the name "freestyle computing" suggests, the spectrum of potential submissions is broad. And a perusal of the 1,103 entries in 2004 confirms that Austrian young people are giving free rein to their creativity. The list of past winners and recipients of Awards of Distinction and Honorary Mentions also displays great diversity, including groups of kids as well as individuals, primary school pupils and high school grads. The thematically wide-ranging creative encounter of Austrian youth with the kaleidoscope of modern technology is being played out in computer animation, robotics, Web design, interactive games and an array of ot!
