> The International City of Vinaròs Award for Digital Literature, one  
> of the first of its kind on a European scale, is designed to reward  
> authors for works that involve digital technology in their  
> production. The award is split into two categories: digital  
> narrative (which includes hypertext narrative, interactive stories  
> and any literary works that use the computer as a means for  
> narration) and poetry (with pieces of dynamic poetry, computer- 
> generated poetry, etc.). The winner from each of these categories  
> will receive 2,500 euros. Likewise, the jury is to award the  
> Vincenç Ferrer Romero special mention to the best work submitted in  
> Catalan, the winner of which will receive 1,500 euros. Writers can  
> present unpublished work on any subject. In the case of the poetry  
> category, they can send a single poem or a collection.
>
> The jury for this award, formed annually, is made up of experts in  
> digital literature. The criteria that they take into account when  
> assessing the works are literary quality, quality and accessibility  
> of the interface design, experimentation with the web as a means  
> for literary creation, and exploration and exploitation of the  
> computer as a means for creation.
>
> The works should be sent to Hermeneia (Humanities and Philology  
> Studies, Av. Tibidabo, 39, 08035, Barcelona, Spain) in a sealed  
> envelope, clearly stating 1st CITY OF VINARÒS AWARD FOR DIGITAL  
> LITERATURE and whether the entry is for the digital narrative or  
> poetry category on the outside. The envelopes have to contain three  
> copies of the work on CD and another sealed envelope, with the  
> title of the work on the outside, a pseudonym or headword, where  
> necessary, and any technical information needed to access the work;  
> information on the writer(s) (name, address, telephone number,  
> email, country of origin and a photocopy of their ID or passport)  
> should be enclosed inside this envelope to ensure anonymity. There  
> should also be a short summary of their literary works to date.
