Sound & vision compos

Sound & vision competitions are for the playback of visual and audible art, i.e. music tunes, pictures and videos. The entries are reproduced on a computer with a player or viewer program and they do not contain real-time computed effects unlike in the Realtime compos. Any device capable of playing the files is good for viewing the competition entries.

This year the music and graphics competition categories have been merged. There will be one Music competion combining the Instrumental music and the Freestyle music compos from previous years. Both instrumental tunes and vocal songs are accepted - neither of being preferred by the jury. The genre is not limited in any way. Instead, the jury will vote to include the best 3-5 songs from different genres to the screen to guarantee diversity in the music compo.

Likewise, the traditional Drawn Themed graphics and Freestyle graphics have been combined to a single competition. The themes and techniques are not limited in any way. The jury will bring forth images of various techniques: drawn, rendered, photographed with after touch, etc. to have a versatile graphics competition.

Fast competitions are organized during the party: you have a given theme or some other constraints, 90 minutes of time, and you need to come up with an interesting picture or a catchy tune. It's the speed that counts here – there's no time to finetune every minor detail to get the compelling piece of art finished.

Short film competition is where you can submit your computer generated animations, machinima films, movies or video art. The only requirement is that the productions are visually interesting and/or storywise compelling.

You can vote and submit your entries in PMS.
