The Future Places Festival is an international event fostering digital media work currently being produced around the world. The festival wants to explore the impact of new technologies in life, communities, social well-being, cultural development and accessibility.

Future Places asks a fundamental question: how can new technology build local communities, create new identities, new narratives, new forms of public interaction? How can creative projects foster cultural development?

This call is addressed to those who are blurring the lines not only between disciplines, but between the real and the virtual and between the commercial, the artistic, and the academic arenas.

Objective

The festival encourages submissions of work developed in the most varied media: web, digital video, installation, electronic music, 3D graphics, cell phone art and productions related to locative media, games and hybrid media.

Prizes

Entries selected as finalists may receive up to $2000 USD in travel support, with reimbursement dependent upon receipts. More details regarding the travel awards will be posted on the festival website.

Rules

  • The submission of entries is open to all those who work in the Digital Media field. No particular nationality or academic affiliation is required.
  • Submissions must be made by uploading a description of the project. This description may be a written statement with accompanying images illustrating the proposal, or a video file. If a video is submitted, it must include a verbal description, and may also include a demonstration and/or footage of the project. The maximum length of the video is 5 minutes. If a written statement is submitted, it should not exceed 500 words.
  • All submissions must be made in either English or Portuguese.

How to enter?

Submissions must be sent to futureplacesfestival [at] gmail.com (please replace [at] with @). If attachments are too heavy for email - larger than 25MB - they can be uploaded at an address of the entrant's choice. One-click hosts such as drop.io may also be used.

The information provided at the submission form should include the links to additional content (video, images, etc.), when available.

Note: Contest Watchers uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). All calculations are approximate and based on UTC.

The International Living Building Institute, in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, invites the world's most talented and daring designers, planners, artists and animators to create a new global vision: a breathtaking, compelling model for the future of civilization.

Unleash the power of your imagination to envision a city capable of thriving through the centuries – one that will heal the land and prove that the human species can in fact live, in the words of E. O. Wilson, as ‘part and parcel with creation'.

If we are to respond effectively to the environmental crisis we now face, we must begin by radically reimagining our neighborhoods, towns, villages and cities.

Objective

Living City Design Competition entries should both inspire and inform. The Competition is meant to provide powerful but readily accessible models of truly sustainable cities. Members of the general public should be able to view the visualizations and come away with a clear sense of how each city would look, feel and function. At the same time, entries must be grounded in real technology and presented with sufficient information to be useful to skilled designers, engineers and planners. The winning entry should be so compelling that current members of the green building movement will want to devote themselves to achieving its vision.

  • Imagine a truly sustainable future.
  • Imagine a socially just, culturally rich and ecologically restorative civilization.
  • Imagine what tomorrow might hold for humanity if we rise to meet the challenges of today.
