Prix Ars Electronica 2005




International Competition for CyberArts

In 2005, creative artists from 71 countries submitted 2,975 works for Prix Ars Electronica prize consideration this year. Computer Animation and Interactive Art are the areas that showed strongest growth in the number of entries. Prize money totaling € 110,000 has been awarded to the winners in six categories.
Ever since its inception, the competition's focus has been on state-ofthe-art creativity in the key fields of digital media: Computer Animation / Visual Effects, Digital Musics, Interactive Art and Net Vision. With the inauguration of the Digital Communities category in 2004, the Prix Ars Electronica has devoted increasing attention to the impact art and technology are having on social developments. The “u19—freestyle computing” category for young people and [the next idea] art and technology grant offer Austria’s computerized younger generation and up-andcoming young artists a creative platform and prominent showcase for their encounters with new media.
