With a desire to engage the expanding modalities of film and media, The Digital Muddy proudly announces a worldwide call for digital media submissions for the Digital Muddy Expanded Media Festival 2015 program. Selected works will represent a fresh ongoing curation of various trends and practices that engage the illusive notion of the expanding digital narrative. All new and traditional genres will be considered.

Particular attention will be paid to new media, net art, interactive, website based projects, webisodes, digital imaging, user generated imagery, participatory, experimental, social engagement, etc. and sound, film, video, animation that in many ways eludes or refutes its placement inside the black box theater.

Digital artist and curator Nia Burks will jury this inaugural showcase. The selected work will be showcased online via the Digital Muddy website. All content will be showcased for a period of six months. The online kick off is set to coincide with the beginning of the Big Muddy Film Festival in Carbondale, Illinois on Feb 24, 2015.

Links to specific project based websites are the preferred method of submission. Decreased attention will be given to media that has found or seeks primarily to be situated in traditional theatrical screening environments.

Submissions will be accepted online through FilmFreeway.org through Friday January 23, 2015. There is NO APPLICATION FEE. One submission per individual, artist, group and/or organization will be allowed. No works in progress will be considered unless is necessitated by the unique nature of the project or work. Finalist should be notified during the first week in the month of February of their acceptance.
