>Dear all,
>>
>>Ars Electronica sent us  (the iDC list) an invitation to apply for their
>>*Digital Communities* Prix Ars Electronica (see below). What do you
>>think? Should we follow their invitation? I have a bit of an issue with
>>such awards. They have the potential to be quite divisive.  How do you
>>*measure/evaluate* a community? What would the  few hundred of us do
>>with the price money? There are not really any costs attached to this
>>list except all of our volunteer labor. So far, The Thing kindly hosts
>>this list for free.  Are Fibreculture or Crumb *better* communities if
>>they receive it (which they should!)?
>>
>>best,
>>Trebor
>>
>>Dear Trebor Scholz,
>>
>>The category "Digital Communities", which met with great
>>interest and participation in 2004 and 2005, will be awarded
>>again by Prix Ars Electronica in 2006.
>>
>>The project "Distributed Creativity" seems relevant to
>>this category and we would like to encourage you and your
>>team to participate with this project in the category
>>"Digital Communities" of this year's Prix Ars Electronica.
>>
>>The Digital Communities category is open to political,
>>social and cultural projects, initiatives, groups and scenes
>>from all over the world that display contentious commitment
>>in coming up with smart, successful ways of deploying
>>digital technologies to solve social problems. Particular
>>emphasis is placed on a project's degree of community
>>innovation, its sustainability and its use of technology in
>>a way that makes good sense and is attuned to the needs of
>>the people meant to benefit from it. Digital Communities
>>projects should make it easier for people to access
>>technology, networks and the Digital Commons.
>>
>>For a detailed description of the category and about Prix
>>Ars Electronica in general, please see our website:
>>http://www.aec.at/en/prix/communities/communities.asp
>>
>>Prizes
>>One Golden Nica with 10,000 Euro, two Awards of Distinction
>>with 5,000 Euro each and up to 12 Honorary Mentions will
>>be awarded by the Jury.
>>
>>The registration starts January 10, 2006.
>>The deadline for submissions is March 17, 2006.
>>
>>Please use
>>http://www.aec.at/en/prix/registration/index.asp
>>for your submission and to obtain further details.
>>
>>If you need any further information or help, please do not
>>hesitate to contact us.
>>It would be very helpful if you could circulate the
>>information as widely as possible in your community and post 
>>in in your blogs!
>>
>>Looking forward to your participation!
>>
>>Sincerely yours,
>>Ingrid Fischer-Schreiber
