LUMEN Prize 2015 for Digital Art: Call for entries
The Lumen Prize Exhibition, the global award and tour for digitally created art, opens its fourth call for entries on 9th March 2015. Now in it's fourth year, The Lumen Prize Exhibition celebrates the very best art created digitally by artists around the world.
Its goal is to celebrate the power and potential of this exciting genre through an annual competition and global tour of works selected by an eminent panel of judges. Artists may submit work made on electronic devices, such as smart phones, tablets, 3D printers and computers using apps, software or original coding. Each year, the winning works tour the world.
