UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2007 :

The UNESCO Digital Art Award 2007 is organized in association with the Sharjah Biennial 8 (4 April - 4 June 2007, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates) on the theme of "STILL LIFE - Art, Ecology and the Politics of Change".

•  Prize money
The total award money is US $10.000, which could be divided and delivered to more than one laureate. It is provided by the Higashiyama Fund, managed by the National Federation of UNESCO Associations in Japan (NFUAJ), and given by the Director-General of UNESCO. The prize winners will also be invited to the Sharjah Biennial 8 to lead the training workshops within the framework of the Education programme of the Biennial with a selected number of youth and educators from across the globe to probe in depth into how creative digital practises and expressions can foster global conversation and gestures of respect towards the sustainable development of our environment.

•  Theme
This year's edition of the UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2007 is at the heart of the global dialogue on the role of art as a vital force for positive change to how we shape our environment, whether determined by physical properties (spatial, geographical, climatic, etc) or by social relevancies, and how we respond to our surroundings, immediate and global.

Young artists are invited to reflect on how urban spaces and city environments could be transformed into creative outlets cultivating artistic innovation and new form of expression. Potential applicants to the award are asked to conceive and design their creative projects that are integral to the theme of sustainable urban development.

The award is especially in conjunction with the UNESCO Young Digital Creators (YDC)-
