Online Submission Deadline (Extended): March 13, 2017 (23:59 CET).
PRIX ARS ELECTRONICA AND STARTS PRIZE
A project may be entered to both the STARTS prize and a Prix Ars Electronica category (Computer Animation/Film/VFX, Digital Musics & Sound Art and Hybrid Art). It is therefore possible to win both the STARTS Prize and a Prix Ars Electronica award at the same time. To do so, submit your project to the specified Prix Ars Electronica category and in the appropriate entry field at the end of the submission confirm that the project is also to be considered for the STARTS prize.
Submitters, who registered already for the Prix Ars Electronica, can use this account also for the STARTS Prize.
GENERAL
- A work may be entered in only one category. An artist may submit more than one work.
- Entrants are requested not to submit irreplaceable originals since submitted materials cannot be returned.

- If your entry is awarded a prize or receives a Honorary Mention, your material will be used for the catalog, DVD (CD) and the Prix Ars Electronica website (see Rights), so we ask you to prepare your picture and text material carefully.
