DNP AWARD'96 ANNOUNCEMENT
CONGRATULATIONS!!

We are happy to announce that many people have participated in the DNP AWARD'96. We could be sure that DNP AWARD'96 has blown a wind of new concept in the network art world. Althought we had to conclude that there was no correspondence for the DNP Grand Prix Award'96, we have newly established Achievement Awards for the International Jury's expectations in the artists' futures. The total prize money has kept to the same amount as we have previously announced. Congratulations to the award winners and thanks to everyone who has participated in the DNP AWARD'96. We look forward to see your new work again next time.
