read_me festival 1.2

CONCEPT can be found here http://www.macros-center.ru/read_me/about-en.html

AWARDS:
Authors of the best works will be awarded special money prizes from 
"ROSIZO" and "Macros-center":
1st prize - 500 USD

3rd prize - 300 USD

IMPORTANT DATES:
Deadline: January 31, 2002
Festival: 17-19 May 2002, Moscow.

The following types of work can be referred to as artistic software:

1. Instructions (read_me) for modifying standard, commonly used software, 
as well as patches and anything that creates an artistic impact on software 
in a way not planned by the application's producers.
2. Deconstruction of existing software products, including computer games.
3. Programs written from scratch with a purpose different than the usual 
"rational" software purposes, i.e. the rejection of the idea of a program 
as a purely pragmatic tool.

Since the curators of the festival do not consider it necessary for the 
framework of the artistic software categories to be too narrow, contact the 
curators if you are not sure if your work is suitable for read_me 1.2!
