Call for participation - UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2007 in association with the Sharjah Biennial 8. Deadline for submissions: 16 February 2007
The UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2007 is organized in association with the Sharjah Biennal 8 (4 April - 4 June 2007, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates) on the theme of "Still Life - Art, Ecology and the Politics of Change". This year’s edition of the UNESCO Digital Arts Award is at the heart of the global dialogue on the role of art as a vital force for how we shape our environment, whether determined by spatial, geographical, climatic properties or by social relevancies, and how we respond to our immediate and global surroundings.
Young artists are invited to reflect on how urban spaces and city environments could be transformed into creative outlets cultivating artistic innovation and new forms of expression. Applicants to the award are asked to conceive and design their creative projects that are integral to the theme of sustainable urban development. The total award money is US $10.000, which could be divided and delivered to more than one laureate. The prize winners will also be invited to the Sharjah Biennial 8 to lead the training workshops within the framework of the Education programme of the Biennial. Deadline for final submissions : February 16, 2007.
