Bio Art & Design Award 2014

[William Myers]

Dear Friends and Collaborators,

Designers and artists are welcome to submit proposals for the new Bio
Art and Design Award. This is a € 25.000 prize for each of three
successful applicants to fully realize a new work of art or design
that pushes the boundaries of research application and creative
expression. This year I will be involved in selecting the winners and
look forward to facilitating new works in this growing field.

The full details and application form can be found online:
http://www.badaward.nl/


Important facts to know about the award:

-The deadline for applications is February 2, 2014, but thankfully the
form is quite short.

-This initiative was previously called the Designers & Artists 4
Genomics Award, which you can read about online: http://www.da4ga.nl/

-Non EU citizens CAN apply and are eligible to win, but they must plan
to collaborate with a Dutch research institution to develop their
project. Please see the website to read about other special
obligations.

-To be eligible you must have graduated from a design or art related
program within the last five years (at any degree level).

-Three separate awards of € 25.000 will be given, and the projects
must be completed in six months in time for exhibition in the
Netherlands


Applicants are encouraged to relate their proposals to recent advances
in the Life Sciences, including (but not limited to) those within
specialties such as ecology, biomedicine and genomics. Please be sure
to read all information about the call, deadlines and requirements
detailed online before submitting an application.


I hope you will consider applying and will share this call for proposals!


Thank you,


William Myers
