THE FESTIVAL PART:
The Festival of Socially Responsive Communication and Art is organised by Memefest Kolektiv together with the wider Memefest network.
Each year, Memefest singles out a text and/or image that serves as a focal point for a critical take on the current media and communication environment. The festival’s Friendly competition opens in three categories: Critical writing, Visual communication practice and Beyond... Participants are asked to respond to the chosen texts and images with written or visual entries (according to their discipline).
Anyone can participate. There are no age limitation and participation is free of charge.
After the deadline, submissions are evaluated by an international board of hand picked curators and editors, composed of distinguished educators, artists, media activists, researchers, educators, theoreticians and professionals from the spheres of social theory and humanities, design, arts and social communication.
A limited nr. of Authors will rank among the curated and edited choices among all submitted work. All curated and edited works will be part of the special Memefest "Good communication and art" work edition. Authors will receive Memefest GOOD COMMUNICATION WORK recognition of excellency.
Those Authors will get special written feedback by Memefest's curators and editors. This is a very special and unique dimension of Memefest. This feedback, we believe, can be highly beneficial for you to reflect on your work and gain more knowledge to improve your future practice. The fact of having your submitted work in the festivals curated and edited selection is a big recognition of your work. This is important part of Memefest's award to you. Every Author who's work is ranked that high will actively contribute to the process of establishing international standards of good communication.
All entries are displayed on the website with comment boxes provided for visitor feedback.
Submission deadline is yet to be announced.
