We are pleased to announce the launch of VIDA 15.0, an edition featuring several novelties. For example, this year we have introduced the Telef\u00f3nica I+D Incentive award. The winner of this new prize will receive assistance from a Telef\u00f3nica team of experts in research, development and innovation and will be invited to the Telef\u00f3nica I+D Research Centre in Barcelona.

FINALISED PROJECTS<\/h3>\n

This category awards projects which must have been developed and produced after 2011. Winners of previous editions are welcome to participate again, and projects that received \u201cIncentives for Production\u201d in past years and have since been completed are also eligible to participate. There will be three winning projects selected by the jury: First Prize: 18,000 euros (*), Second Prize: 14.000 euros (*), Third Prize: 8,000 euros (*).<\/h3>\n

In addition to the winners of the three main prizes, we will also choose seven participants to receive honourable mentions and compete for the special People\u2019s Choice Award. Of these mentions, only the People\u2019s Choice Award is endowed with a cash prize, the amount of which will be 2,500 euros.<\/h3>\n

The People\u2019s Choice Award will go to the project that receives the most votes from the public in the seven days immediately following the announcement of the official award winners. Votes will be cast electronically on the VIDA website and social networks.<\/h3>\n

INCENTIVES FOR PRODUCTION<\/h3>\n

VIDA 15.0 Incentives for Production category helps to finance artistic projects involving artificial life that have not yet been produced. This category of the competition is open to creators who are citizens or legal residents of Spain, Portugal or any country in Latin America. This category is endowed with a total of 40,000 euros(*), which will be divided among five proposals selected by the jury pannel. The sum allocated to each project will not exceed the amount of 8.000 euros, so the budget must be done according to this quantity.<\/h3>\n
