The Prix Ars Electronica 2001 marks the 15th edition of the competition
for 
cyberarts, which is organized by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation 
(ORF), Upper Austrian Regional Studio, in conjunction with the Ars 
Electronica Festival. From the start, the Prix Ars Electronica has been 
conceived as an open platform for various disciplines in the field of 
digital media design at the intersection of technology, art, science and 
society. Accordingly, over the course of the years, it has repeatedly
been 
renewed, in order to be able to take the rapid developments in the realm
of 
information technologies into account.

The Prix Ars Electronica 2001 is announced internationally for the 
categories of Net Vision / Net Excellence, Interactive Art, Digital
Musics, 
Computer Animation/Visual Effects. In addition, there is also a
competition 
category for young people under the age of 19 in Austria:
Cybergeneration - 
u19 freestyle computing. The international juries will award 6 x 3 money 
prizes and 6x up to 12 Honorary Mentions.

The total prize money for the Prix Ars Electronica 2001 amounts to Euro 
100.000 (US$ 89,700). Selected works of all categories will be presented
to 
the public in the exhibition Cyberarts 2001 at the O.K Center for 
Contemporary Art during the Ars Electronica Festival.

1.2 NET VISION / NET EXCELLENCE - A new concept for the Net category 2001
...................................................

This year, the Prix Ars Electronica recognizes to an even greater extent 
the central significance of the Internet, by opening up the competition 
category Net, launched in 1995, to the whole range of current
developments 
and trends on the net. For the first time, two Golden Nicas and four
Awards 
of Distinction will be awarded for outstanding cultural impact on the 
Internet. NET VISION distinguishes projects that are striking in their 
anticipative and innovative way of dealing with the online medium. NET 
EXCELLENCE distinguishes projects that are compelling because of the 
originality of their content and creative use of state-of-the-art 
applications. The prizes and the prize money will be doubled, amounting
to 
approximately 40.000 Euros (US-$ 35,880.)

Along with the redefinition of the Internet category, a nominating 
committee, comprised of a worldwide network of experts and Internet 
professionals, will be established. These experts represent the
different 
fields of activity covered by the new category: Arts & Culture,
Politics, 
Society, Business & Economy, Entertainment, Media, Technology, Science. 
Each of these fields of activity is subdivided into narrower thematic
entities.

You can find a complete list of the nominating committee and the
thematic 
fields under: http://prixars.orf.at
