Young artists from around the world are
invited to take part in this year’s award
devoted to the theme of “Cities and creative
media”. Organized in collaboration
with Art Center Nabi, the Award would be
delivered to non-realized project proposals in order to embrace a wider audience of
creators, who have the innovative artistic
ideas but not necessarily the means.
The call specifically aims at encouraging
young emerging artists to cultivate new forms
of expressions using new media and technology
in reflecting on how urban spaces and
city environments could be transformed into
creative outlets.
The submission deadline is 14 September
2005. All project proposals should be submitted
online at the official website of submission
(http://www.nabi.or.kr/unesco_award),
where participants will also be able to find
further detailed information (description of
sub-themes, general guidelines, submission
criteria, etc). All submissions should be in
English.
The total prize money is US $10,000,
which would be divided into and given to
more than one laureate, in some cases a
group of artists. In addition, the Nabi center
(Seoul, Republic of Korea) is organizing a “special honorary mention” category to
the Award, targeting realized projects that
could be re-embodied within the urban context
of the city Seoul.
The award-winning projects would be
selected by an international jury, assembled
on this occasion representing the five geo-cultural
regions (Africa, Arab States,
Asia/Pacific, Europe/North America, and
Latin America/Caribbean).
