The organisers of South Africa’s first significant all-digital, non-commercial exhibition are calling for entries. Hoping to create a new awareness of the digital medium as an art form, the exhibition will open on October 31 at the Vega School of Brand Communication in Benmore, Sandton.
The competition is open to any South African digital designer who has previously unexhibited “freestyle” work to submit. The best 30 works will be exhibited and two winners in each category and an overall winner will be awarded prizes — the latter with a R5 000 cash prize.
The exhibition has seven categories: website; earspace (pieces 500×400 pixels in dimension and under 20KB in size); broadband; flash; code; cames; and other.
The exhibition is coordinated by Digerati. The five judges will be drawn from the fine art, communications and digital communities.
