Girona City Council has published the rules for the first International Mapping Projects Competition. It is part of the Girona International Mapping Festival, which will take place in the city from 30 July to 3 August 2014. The final date for presenting projects is 25 April 2014.
The competition has three categories: the professional category, open category and educational category. The professional category is for companies and professionals from all over the world working in the audiovisual sector and mapping. The open category is for non-professionals. The educational category is for all pupils in the 5th and 6th year of primary school, and in compulsory secondary education, at schools in the city of Girona.
The façades used in the competition are the Girona City Council building, La Mercè Cultural Centre, Casa Masó, and Casa Pastors, as well as the façade of the Generalitat building, which will only be used for the inauguration. The festival will be inaugurated on 30 July, and the videomapping will be carried out by the festival's invited artist. The competition will be held from 31 July to 3 August 2014.
The jury will consist of five people of professional and artistic prestige. The final selection of jury members will be announced before the publication of the finalist proposals. The criteria for the selection of finalists in each category will take into account the originality, quality and the project's link with the city.
