Prix Ars Electronica 2007
International Competition for CyberArts



Since 1987, the Prix Ars Electronica has focused on creative work at the interface of art, technology and society. In 2007, the competition once again underscores its status as the leading international showcase of excellence in digital media art: this year’s 3,374 entries from 63 countries establishes a new Prix Ars Electronica record for submissions.

The 2007 Prix Ars Electronica invited submissions in a total of eight categories that—taken as a whole—reflect the growing diversification of digital media art as well as the ongoing development of the Prix Ars Electronica. The most obvious manifestations of these two processes are this year’s two new categories: Hybrid Art and Media.Art.Research.

This year’s winners will receive six Golden Nicas, [the next idea] Art & Technology Grant, the Media.Art.Research theory award and a total of 122,500 euros in prize money. Other outstanding works are being singled out for recognition with 14 Awards of Distinction and 74 Honorary Mentions. Juries made up of internationally prominent experts in their respective fields convened April 19–22, 2007.
