The EVA London conference is held annually as part of the family of EVA Conferences International, held in venues around the world since 1990. The conferences have provided a unique forum for the introduction of digital technology in imaging, sound and performance into culture and the arts. EVA London is an activity of the Computer Arts Society, a group of the British Computer Society, where the next conference will be held, in July 2010. EVA has a proud tradition of being eclectic and cross‐disciplinary, embracing the many ways in which technology has enlivened the visual and performing arts. The conference themes include 2D and 3D digitisation, cultural heritage, digital media, electronic art, immersive environments, virtual and augmented worlds, sound, music, film, animation.
The EVA London organising committee seeks a distinctive and attractive logo for branding and promotion of the EVA London Conference, on the theme of Art and Technology. The logo should symbolise visualisation in the arts, and be colourful, eye‐catching, uncluttered, and convey something of the spirit of London and camaraderie of the event. It should be adaptable for use at various scales in print, stationery, presentation graphics and on the Web. It should also be effective in grey‐scale or black‐and‐white for monochrome copy. Information about the Computer Arts Society can be found at: www.computer-arts-society.org/. Please note that the new identify of EVA London is in future to be separate and distinct from the general branding of the EVA Conferences International.
The logo should be designed digitally and submitted in JPG image file format, attached to an email message. The longer dimension of the image should not exceed 1,000 pixels. Entries should be sent to l.macdonald@lcc.arts.ac.uk, clearly marked in the subject line “Entry for EVA logo competition”.
The closing date is Friday 26th February 2010.
The panel of judges will assess the designs by viewing at full‐screen size on an LCD flat‐panel display, without knowledge of the identity of each entrant. The judges’ decision will be final. The winner will be asked to supply the digital design and supporting materials in origination format (such as AI, PSD, EPS, BMP), together with guidelines for its use in various media. The winning design will remain the intellectual property of the designer, who will grant a license to the organising committee to use it for all purposes associated with the Conference. This is an equal‐opportunity competition, with no restrictions on nationality, age, affiliation, or any other aspect of personal identity.
A cash prize of £250 will be given to the winning designer, who will be informed by the end of March 2010. The winning design will be used in all promotional materials and web pages for the EVA London Conference over the next five years. The winner will also receive free registration for the EVA London Conference 5th‐7th July 2010, valued at a further £250.
