BackgroundEurographics presented the John Lansdown Prize for the first time at the Eurographics 2000 conference. The award was renamed the Prize for Interactive Digital Art in 2006, to better describe the kind of entry that the judges are looking for.The prize is dedicated to the memory of Professor John Lansdown, who died in February 1999. In his varied career, John Lansdown was involved in many creative activities, from his first discipline of architecture, through computer graphics to computer-mediated artwork of many forms, culminating in multimedia production. Creativity is an overworked word, but it can be justly applied to John Lansdown's approach to everything he explored, so the criteria for the award centre on the creative use of computers to generate interactive art. The results of the competition will be announced at Eurographics 2007 in Prague in September 2007. A certificate will accompany the cheque. The judges look forward to receiving a stimulating set of submissions and wish all submitters good luck with their research and development work. Judging CriteriaThe submission awarded first prize will demonstrate innovation in the use of interaction with images, sound and animation. The judges will take into account whether the work looks and sounds "good" and behaves "well", the strength of the underlying ideas and the degree to which the system "works" both conceptually and mechanically, in other words the fitness for purpose of the submission. A successful work will show a significant understanding of the needs, motivations, conceptions and actions of the user.Fundamental characteristics that the judges will expect to find in a successful submission include:
