Prix Ars Electronica@CERN is a new international prize for digital artists, offering the opportunity to win a residency at CERN, the largest particle collider in the world. The idea is to inspire digital creativity through brining the minds of artists and scientists together.
From the Ars Electronica Page:
The residency is in two parts - with an initial two months at CERN, where the winning artist will have a specially dedicated science mentor from the world famous science lab to inspire him/her and his/her work. The second part will be a month with the Futurelab team and mentor at Ars Electronica Linz with whom the winner will develop and make new work inspired by the CERN residency. From the first meeting between the artists, their CERN and Futurelab mentors, they will all participate in a dialogue which will be a public blog of their creative process until the final work is produced and maybe beyond. In this way, the public will be able to join in the conversation.

Prix Ars!!! Aaaaa what a boner! That is Pixar:D:D:D
Nice! It even includes the rent for an apartment, considering that Geneva is probably the most expensive city in Switzerland concerning rents.
"brining the minds of artists and scientists together."
I prefer my mind without brine, thanks very much. :P
Entered one of their competitions before. They say 'go wild' but my impression is that they like technical stuff like spinning schematics, graphs, staff composition, prototype models (of their stuff) etc. I think 'wild' has a different meaning for physicists.
