Code+Art contest application window is open

The NCSU Libraries is now accepting submissions for its 2017 Code+Art Student Visualization Contest.

Libraries have long been places where people have explored new ways of interacting with information. We invite students to create visualizations that give visitors a taste of the possibilities that await them inside our Libraries. We are especially interested in “massively responsive” web-based work that could be displayed on the Hunt Library video walls.

We are looking for attractive visualizations created with a computer, in the following categories:

• Data visualization / data art
• Generative art
• Procedurally generated environments (game environments, for example)
• Virtual or augmented reality experiences

The final deadline for entries is Monday, April 10. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, April 26. Submit your entries at: https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/codeart/submit.

Any NC State undergraduate or graduate student enrolled during Spring 2017 is eligible to enter. Students may enter either individually or in groups. Groups may have both undergraduates and graduates within the same group. Students from all departments in the university are encouraged to enter. Students who graduated in December 2016 are ineligible.

Cash prizes will be awarded in late April to first, second, and third place in the amounts of $400, $200, and $100. See the rules and regulations for a full list of requirements, including tax implications for prizes.

If you have any questions about the contest, available technology, resources, or making visualizations, contact Alison Blaine at ablaine@ncsu.edu.
