Worldwide digital art contest for artists to explore the future of electronic device design

(Nanowerk News) NVIDIA and the CGSociety, a division of Ballistic Media, have announced 'NVArt 6: Moving Innovation', a new worldwide digital art contest for artists to explore the future of electronic device design, with over $34,000 in prizes.
We are at the start of a revolution in personal computing devices, which will make today's tablets, phones and notebooks look stone age in just a few short years. The evolution of portable technology will empower all of us in exciting new ways. To do more, in more places. To bring our home, or our work, with us wherever we go. Or leave it all behind and escape.

What will portable technology look like in the next decade? Will we carry them, wear them or plug them into ourselves in some way? How will we interact with them? How will they interface with other hardware to perform the many functions we will need them to? These are the questions that the 'NVArt 6: Moving Innovation' competition want answered in the form of an awe inspiring still image.
Judges include Kyle Swen (Astro), Adam Benton (Designer for Apple, Nintendo and Sony), Pascal Blanche (Art Director of Jagex), Steven Stahlberg, Arnoldas Vitkus (winner of NVArt 5), Leigh van der Byl (Framestore), David Wright (Creative Director of NVIDIA) and Mark Snoswell (President of CGSociety).
The competition was created jointly with the sole sponsor NVIDIA and has a prize pool valued at of over $34,000. The first prize is $10,000 cash, plus two NVIDIA Quadro 6000 Processors.
