The Construction New Media Awards celebrates and elevates the status of South African new media design. It honours and accredits those designers, writers, programmers and thinkers who produce challenging, imaginative, interactive work, both on a creative and a functional platform.
This year's judges will be:
- Malcolm Garrett [independent_design_consultant]
- Tom Roope [tomato]
- Lewis Blackwell [getty_images]
- Simon Sankarayya [digitlondon]
There might not be a fortune to be gained by winning a Construction Award, but fame comes in the form of the coveted Grand Prix, which is awarded across all categories (the Construction Awards however reserve the right not to make an award in any category). the first Grand Prix winner went to New York, the second to Vienna and this year's one will get to spend a week in London.
All entries are R600.00 [$60.00].
Student entries are FREE.
Full details on entry requirements, payment options, categories, and judges etc, can be found online at www.constructionaward.com. Alternatively, you can contact the organisers at .
The winners will be announced at the Awards Ceremony in Cape Town at Artscape Theatre on 28th February 2003. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the judges, view the finalists, the award-winning work and party afterwards!
