Deadline November 1 2009- Final Deadline

The upcoming exhibition, Update III (in 2010), will be held in collaboration
with the Centre Pompidou in Paris, under the artistic direction of the
exhibition's commissioner Christine Van Assche.

At the same time, the 10 works selected for the Liedts-Meesen Foundation
award will be exhibited and integrated into the publication accompanying the
exhibition.

Update's mission

Update's mission is to expand the scope of contemporary artistic creations
and traditional media with works dedicated to employing contemporary and new
technologies in an original and intelligent way: treatment of sounds and
light, use of new media, application of innovative evolutions in
communications, telecommunications and broadcasting, centred on the world of
information, communication, and computers and interaction.

These descriptions are in no way restrictive and should be interpreted in a
broader meaning


General guidelines for entry in the competition

The aim of the competition is to present works in accordance with Update's
objectives.  The submitted work can have been previously exhibited, but the
jury reserves the right to choose creations that are proven to be
practically realisable within the possibilities of the Liedts-Meesen
Foundation, keeping in mind that the works will be displayed during the
exhibition.

Calendar and conditions of the competition

The choice of the 10 projects selected by the jury will be rendered public
at the occasion of the Lineart Art Salon (Ghent) from the 4th to the 8th
December, 2009.
Those projects that have been retained will then be installed in order to be
exhibited alongside of the Update III exhibition from March to June 2010 and
published in the exhibition catalog.  The basic equipment is available to be
used by the selected artists; specific and special equipment must be
provided for, and lent by the artists for the duration of the exhibition.

During the Update exhibition, one of the nominees will be chosen for the
prize award given by the Liedts-Meesen Foundation.  A people's choice award
is also foreseen.

nationalities.  English is the working language.  Deliverables: A general
portfolio of the artist including a CV and a detailed description of the
