Last week i finished evaluating a huge number of Entries at the First international Stickeraward.Here is one i liked a lot. Gratisprobe= Free sample. Although i think most Festivals- competitions are making a very bad job in constructing Criteria of what is good (visual) communications work, because they approach communication from a decontextualised perspective, i really enjoy this project.

Especially the design profession is in great need to rethink it's institutions of knowledge production. I will post about that more soon.

For now i invite you to read a important article about this subject, published here in Eye magazine.

Memefest 2008 received works from around the globe, from four continents. Congratulations to everyone who has responded to this years theme. We were particularly attentive and only posted those works which were clearly related to the festival's outlines. Those entries not related to Radical beauty outline or to the Beyond… category guidelines were not posted in our on-line Galleries.

Most of the submissions were very inspiring, and so the winners were very hard to choose.

Awards were given in the Visual arts, Beyond..., Communication Studies and Sociology Categories! Several great works received honorable mentions. Sadly not all the category awards were given because in order to get a Memefest Award the submitted work must have received an average rating of 8.0.

Memefest's Jurors worked very hard and in addition to evaluating the submitted works, they produced several hundred written comments that will provide feedback to the participants and help them create even better works in the future! The evaluation process took several weeks and the pedagogical feedback is in our opinion the best award of all. We thank our Jury indefinitely for their conscientious collaboration.

In order to view Jury's comments to your submission, go to www.memefest.org and log in with your memeaccount. Take time and read the reviews carefully, they are written in order to help you reflect your work from different perspectives.

Check out the winners and honorable mentions; take your time- browse their works and participate in the discussions.

We are encouraged and inspired by your submissions, participation, and collaboration. We will keep you posted with more news about future developments of Memefest's global network very soon.

Congratulations to the winners and to everyone who participated!!

Keep on doing your great work!!!

This years festival outline seems to be the most difficult till now. Many submissions sadly did not respond to the theme RADICAL BEAUTY. Those ones are not listed in the Gallery. We will elaborate on this soon, but till then we are looking forward to see what our stellar jury members think about your works and how they will comment on them. More soon. http://www.memefest.org/2008/en/index.php?meme=blog&submeme=show&blog_id=567 2008-06-14 02:57:00 Oliver Vodeb
