An idea many of us have talked about over the last few years, for example at the Mobile Art&&Code event, and the Mobile Music Workshops,  is now happening in Germany: The ZKM (Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe)  collaborates with a few partners to present the International AppArtAward 2011. They “select the best works of art in app format that have advanced to artistic applications and/or have distinguished themselves as technically outstanding software solutions.” I’m hoping that we’ll see many sound and music apps in this contest!

They encourage applications from “software developers and artists, as well as all fans of app with creative and innovative applications”.  The deadline is The submission deadline is the 15 May, 2011 MEZ. More info is here.
