Announcing the Second Annual $10,000 Peoria Prize for Creativity Last year, creative teams of artists, engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs from all over the country and the world competed for the inaugural $10,000 Peoria Prize for Creativity. I am pleased to announce the call for submissions for the Second Annual Peoria Prize for Creativity. The Peoria Prize is a $10,000 award for a creative project that is produced through a collaboration between a person or persons from the arts or humanities communities and a person or persons from the science, engineering, or business communities. It can be a project that is rendered in almost any form. I urge you to present this opportunity to your partners, colleagues, coworkers, and collaborators. Detailed information on the Peoria Prize for Creativity including a description of the prize and submission criteria can be found at www.peoriaprize.com. Creative teams with collaborators from all over the country and the world competed for last year's Peoria Prize. The winner of the 2005 Peoria Prize for Creativity was Hands Across the Ocean: The Lost Chord, an extraordinary project from the Digital Worlds Institute at Florida State University that involved 70 world-wide collaborators. A description of this winning project and those of the other two finalists can be found at <www.peoriaprize.com>. If you have any questions concerning the Prize, its sponsorship, or its procedures, please feel free to contact me as per the information below. I can't think of a better community of creative people than those represented by Dorkbot and ArtBots and their constituents who would compete strongly for this Prize. The Second Annual Peoria Prize for Creativity will be awarded in a special ceremony on April 28, 2006 at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois.
