The John Lansdown Prize for Interactive Digital Art

All those working in interactive digital art are invited to submit  
for this international prize, awarded annually by the Eurographics  
Association.

The first prize has a cash value of 750 Euros and there is 250 Euros  
for the runner-up. The closing date for submission is 18th January 2008.

The criteria for the Award centre on the creative use of the digital  
medium for interactive art, in any form. The work submitted must have  
been created within the last two years.

Details of the winning entries from the 2007 and 2006 competitions  
have been published on the Eurographics Web site, http://www.eg.org/ 
about/awards.

Background

Eurographics presented the John Lansdown Prize for the first time at  
the Eurographics 2000 conference. The award was renamed the Prize for
Interactive Digital Art in 2006, to better describe the kind of entry  
that the judges are looking for.

The prize is dedicated to the memory of Professor John Lansdown, who  
died in February 1999. In his varied career, John Lansdown was  
involved in many creative activities, from his first discipline of  
architecture, through computer graphics to computer-mediated artwork  
of many forms, culminating in multimedia production. Creativity is an  
overworked word, but it can be justly applied to John Lansdown's  
approach to everything he explored, so the criteria for the award  
centre on the creative use of computers to generate interactive art.

The results of the competition will be announced at Eurographics 2008  
in Crete in April 2008. A certificate will accompany the cheque.

The judges look forward to receiving a stimulating set of submissions  
and wish all submitters good luck with their research and development  
work.

Judging Criteria

The submission awarded first prize will demonstrate innovation in the  
use of interaction with images, sound and animation. The judges will  
take into account whether the work looks and sounds "good" and  
behaves "well", the strength of the underlying ideas and the degree  
to which the system "works" both conceptually and mechanically, in  
other words the fitness for purpose of the submission. A successful  
work will show a significant understanding of the needs, motivations,  
conceptions and actions of the user.

Fundamental characteristics that the judges will expect to find in a  
successful submission include:

     * Innovation
     * Usability
     * Degree of finish
     * Technical ingenuity
     * Coherence
     * Usefulness
     * Meeting declared aims
     * Selectivity or appropriateness
     * Fertility for development
     * Awareness of "state of the art"

The judges reserve the right to make no award or to award only a second
prize if, in their opinion, the standard of work submitted does not  
reach the high standards of creativity associated with John Lansdown.  
The judges' decision is final. They may, at their discretion, give  
private advice or comments to submitters of work on future  
development, but will not openly discuss their decisions nor respond  
to direct questioning on the reasons for decisions after the award  
ceremony.

Rules for submission

A submission may be made by companies, Universities, Research  
organisations, individuals -in short anyone- from any country in the  
world. The work submitted must have been created within the last two  
years. The work must be submitted on CD-ROM or DVD (five copies). The  
submission should be accessible using standard software on standard  
equipment (for example, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Navigator,  
Microsoft Explorer, Adobe Acrobat on PC and/or Macintosh platforms).  
If specialist plug-ins or Xtras are needed, arrangements to download  
these should be made clear in the submission. If the work is a web  
site, a disk copy should be submitted. If the work is an  
installation, it is acceptable to submit a video describing the work  
and including a tour through the work. Videos may be submitted on CD- 
ROM or DVD. Entries that run on mobile devices should also be  
submitted as video, e.g. by capturing the screens.

Submissions should be received by the Chairman of the judges, Nuno  
Correia, on or before 18th January 2008. Submissions received after  
this closing time will not be considered.

Each submission should contain:

     * the name, address, telephone, FAX, email and company or  
university
affiliation (when relevant) of a contactable submitter, as well as a  
signed and dated statement indicating willingness to accept the rules  
of the competition and for Eurographics to have the right to use  
extracts from the work for publicity purposes;
     * the names, addresses and affiliations of any collaborators,  
plus a
signed and dated statement from each indicating their agreement that the
work should be submitted to the competition and that they accept the  
competition rules;
     * TWO signed copies of the "Licence to Use Agreement" (DOC,  
PDF). One copy, signed by Eurographics, will be returned to you;
     * a brief statement (no more than one A4 page) indicating the  
aims and status of the work (for example, commercial product, joint  
or individual student project, "proof of concept" development, etc.);
     * complete operating instructions for the work, to include any  
special requirements of the operating platform and/or software.
