Call for Participation: SIGGRAPH's SpaceTime 2018 International Student Competition in Vancouver, Canada

SIGGRAPH's SpaceTime 2018 International Student Competition

This competition provides an excellent opportunity for students currently attending school in either traditional academic setting or home school at either the College/University levels or High School/Secondary levels and working in computer based media to exhibit their creative work nationally and internationally.
Entries will be judged by international jurors on the basis of solution of the theme, artistic merit, design, originality, technical excellence, and content. We are interested in ways to push the limits of the technology available or involve combinations of technologies. The first two winners will receive a non-transferable complimentary Conference Select registration to the SIGGRAPH 2018 Conference in Vancouver, Canada August 12-16th, which does not include travel or lodging. Selected works will be exhibited at the SIGGRAPH Education Committee Booth at the 2018 Conference and included on the ACM SIGGRAPH Education Committee web site, and in promotional materials. The authors of accepted works will receive a letter, which may serve as a basis for applying for their schools’ grants to attend the conference. http://s2018.siggraph.org/.
