The Digital Decade Contest: 12 Works-in-Progress

For the second time, Arseny Vesnin — founder and digital curator of Designcollector Network, baked by the OFFF Festival sets up the creative competition and together with Depositphotos delivers an exhibition in Saint Petersburg during “OFFF on Tour” debut festival in Russia. The exhibition was the result of the contest that invited artists to reflect on the near-future topics like Artificial Intellect, Cyber Landscapes and Human Being. The prominent jury board selected 15 artworks from 50 submissions to represent the “Digital Decade” during OFFF SPB event. During the event, visitors were able to immerse into the electronic arts by entering our exposition through Virtual Reality supported by Indee Interactive. We are excited to introduce the professionals who have kindly agree to be the jury members of Digital Decade II.

Here is the third interview in the series of conversations with “The Digital Decade” contest winners. This time we sit down with… Special Place: Zakharia Mesropov Depositphotos 3 Month Subscription (5 daily images)

It’s often the simplest idea that yields the best results. Arseny Vesnin, founder of the Designcollector – one of the best-respected web resource dedicated to design –knows it full well: three months ago his brainchild passed its ten-year milestone and, Vesnin thought, what better way to pause and marvel at a great achievement then to invite a bunch of graphic designers to take over the anniversary issue of the Designcollector’s print cousin, DCMAG magazine, and make a contest out of it? The celebratory DCMAG Issue#3 was supposed to feature all of the contest’s future participants and the first four were to be awarded some seriously cool prizes. Simple idea, and yet what a creative fiesta it turned out to be!

Depositphotos' and Designcollector Network's joint contest is over! Today we are happy to announce the best of the best: the top three winners of the competition and the winner of the Depositphotos' Choice Award. According to the premise of the contest, 30 shortlisted artists were invited to use images from Depositphotos' library to produce works of graphic art on the topic "The Digital Decade.". We received many entries, and the contest jury selected the top 15 artworks to be exhibited at the OFFF Festival 2013 in Barcelona. We are proud to introduce 15 works that got the majority of votes as well as the winners of our contest.
