All the best, Jonathan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Dear Jonathan, “Open Knowledge Foundation” has been nominated in this year’s Prix Ars Electronica in the category Digital Communties. Therefore, I would like to encourage you and your team to participate with this project. The category "Digital Communities", which met with great interest and participation in the last years, will be awarded again by Prix Ars Electronica in 2010. 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. We explicitely encourage community-related net.art projects to submit.
