BEEP / Data Logic aims to create an electronic art collection, through 
awarding Acquisition Prizes. Therefore, it is organising the ARCO/BEEP 
Electronic Art Awards.

The goal of these Awards is to advance the production and exhibition of 
electronic art, and art linked to new technologies. Its purpose is to 
promote new high-tech art, and to foster communication between the 
manufacturers/creators of this new technology and those who create art. A 
natural collaboration, which will benefit and enrich both sides.

There are two ACQUISITION PRIZES:

1) @ARCO Prize: worth 8,000 euros

2) Off-ARCO Prize: worth 6,000 euros

The Prizes will be awarded by an international Jury of prestigious 
specialists.


1. ARCO / BEEP Acquisition Prizes

Description

1) @ARCO Prize
To be eligible, an artwork must be shown at the 25th edition of ARCO, the 
International Contemporary Art Fair, in Madrid (9-13 February 2006), and 
must have a significant component involving new technology or electronic 
media.

Before ARCO’06, these eligible artworks must also be previously submitted 
for consideration by their galleries, through registration on a webpage 
that 
shall be created to this effect.

2) Off-ARCO Prize
Artworks presented by individual artists, or collectives.

The Prize-winning artworks shall become part of the BEEP/Data Logic 
corporate collection.

The @ARCO Prize shall be endowed with 8,000 euros, and the Off-ARCO Prize 
with 6,000 euros—a total of 14,000 euros for the acquisition of the two 
artworks.

- The Prizes shall be awarded according to the Jury’s decision.
- The Jury shall determine the winner in each of the two categories.
- Registration opens: 5 p.m. Madrid time (GMT+1 hour), 28th October 2005.

- Prize money: 14,000 euros for the acquisition of the two artworks.
- Announcement of winning artworks: 11th February 2006.

Should any of the money earmarked for acquisition remain unspent, the Jury 
may decide whether to devote this amount to a future edition of the Awards 
or to acquiring a third artwork selected from amongst nominees for the 
present edition; in this case, the artwork would be considered to have 
been 
awarded an Honourable Mention.
