During the evaluation, the Selection Committee gets no further information about the submitter than journal number and, if applicable, the name by reasoned request.

KP22-digital asks for digital works of art and NOT reproductions of physical works.
Definition of digital art
We define digital art as artistic design that has digital and electronic media as a basis for an art practice. The works can be cross-aesthetic (visual media, music, performance, light, etc. in the same work), and/or contain interactive aspects.
General genres within digital art include: video art, sound art, web art, art games or apps, podcasts, software art, augmented reality and cross-media projects.
- The artistic idea must be grounded in the digital format. We do NOT want photographs of analogue works of art.
- The work must be created to be able to operate on ordinairy digital platforms such as computer, tablet and smartphone - both Android and iOS (and possibly via links to separate software).
Technical requirements in general related to the exhibition
