I entered the Bit.Movie '94 contest in Italy many months back. I finally received the promised show catalog that all entrants get. I would very much recommend that anyone doing computer animations, computer art or renderings enter this contest. The catalog is fantastic – beautifully printed and very interesting to read. There were 226 entries from all over the world. Imagine renderings were heavily represented. Many of the products supported in the Amigavendor forum were credited,Imagemaster, ImageFX etc. Surprising nice stuff was still being done with Deluxe Paint in the 2D still section. I sent several high resolution Jpegs. Two of them were printed in a 3X4" size in the catalog. To get an entry form for '95 – contact Bit.Movie c/o Carlo Mainardi, via Bologna 13, 47036 Riccione Italy.

It doesn't cost anything to enter the contest. I wasn't so sure about sending my pictures on a Syquest and ever getting the cartridge returned. However, they have an animation entry and I don't know how you'd send that on disks. They welcome removable media. I just didn't want to take the chance. So I sent them Jpegs on disks in January. The artists of the winning still entry wrote up a 3-4 page article describing how they made their entry. It was a long discussion of the biology of seahorses, the mythology of seahorses and unicorns. Then there was a complete tutorial on how they modeled their seahorse-unicorn using Imagine and Essence. People in this country just can't write ! I used to get British craft and arts magazines and the quality of the writing is much higher than then same thing in this country.
