Cyber Arts awards for digital communities.

The cyber arts event calls for entries in eight categories, and has received over 40,000 entries since 1987. Categories include computer animation, interactive art, digital music hybrid art, digital communities and more. Of particular interest to me is the award given for digital communities. I love the way they define it:

The "Digital Communities" category will honor important achievements by digital communities well as innovative artistic approaches towards web-based communities. This category focuses attention on the wide-ranging social and artistic impact of the Internet as well as on the latest developments in the fields of social software, ubiquitous computing, mobile communications and p2p production. Special attention goes to community-related “net.art”. "Digital Communities" spotlights bold and inspired innovations impacting human coexistence, bridging the geographical as well as gender-based digital divide and cultural conflicts, sustaining cultural diversity and the freedom of artistic expression or creating outstanding social software and enhancing accessibility of technological-social infrastructure.

Who is going to be the Michelangelo of our [digital] time?
