Contemporary digital sound productions from the broad spectrum of "electronica" come in for consideration in the Digital Musics & Sound Art category, as do works combining sound and media, computer compositions ranging from electro-acoustic to experimental music, or sound installations. This category's programmatic agenda is to expand horizons beyond the confines of individual genres and artistic currents.
Jury: Ludger Brümmer (DE), Susanna Niedermayr (AT), Mike Harding (UK), Marcos Boffa (BR), Isabella Bordoni (IT)

Hybrid Art
The Hybrid Art category is dedicated specifically to today’s hybrid and transdisciplinary projects and approaches to media art. Primary emphasis is on the process of fusing different media and genres into new forms of artistic expression as well as the act of transcending the boundaries between art and research, art and social/political activism, art and pop culture.
Jury: Jens Hauser (DE/FR), Bronac Ferran (UK), Daria Parkhomenko (RU), Oron Catts (AU), Dietmar Offenhuber (AT)

Interactive Art
The Interactive Art category is dedicated to interactive works in all forms and formats, from installations to performances. Here, particular consideration is given to the realization of a powerful artistic concept through the especially appropriate use of technologies, the innovativeness of the interaction design, and the work's inherent potential to expand the human radius of action.
Jury: Giselle Beiguelman (BR), José Luis de Vicente (ES), Susanne Jaschko (DE), Tomoe Moriyama (JP), Jeffrey Huang (CH)
