27th VIDEOMEDEJA ENTRIES
are finished
NEW
This year, it is new that donations are required when registering for the International New Media Art Festival Videomedeja, and this is significant because the collected money is used for the prize money. The awards at the festival have also been somewhat changed, so now there is the first prize Videomedeja Award for the best work, the Bogdanka Poznanović Award for the best work made in Serbia, as well as the Special Mentions and Audience Award.
The first prize, Videomedeja Award is of great importance to the artists participating in the festival, as it represent recognition for their work and contribution to video art and new media. In addition, the Videomedeja prize money represents financial support that can help artists further develop their creativity. Bogdanka Poznanović Award for the best work made in Serbia is especially important for local artists, as it gives them the opportunity to present themselves to the public and professionals, but also to receive encouragement for further work. Special Mention and Audience Award are also important because they show that the artwork has an impact on the audience and that it has succeeded in conveying a message or evoking an emotional response.
