The MEDIAWAVE International Art Foundation declares 
international diaporama, CD-ROM and DVD festival, 
which will be organised annually henceforward 
traditionally. Anybody can enter for the festival 
with his/her audio-visual series if it is followed 
by transcription  and  can  be  screened  on  one  
surface  with  two  projectors  or  with  such  
kind  of  work,  which  can  be  visualised  by  
the  help  of  a computer. The aim of the organisers 
is to help enforcing those new forms and tools - with 
the renewal of the traditional genre - which
reflects the people's awareness of life living in 
the 3rd millennium and helps to present its important 
questions and answers with audio-visual tools. There 
is no stipulation for the topic or technology. There 
can be such applications, which are pioneers with their
intellectuality and technology in their genre, and it 
would be difficult to classify them into the traditional 
categories. It is possible to send in virtual exhibitions, 
web-sites that prefer the audio-visual technology. 
The international diaporama, CD-ROM and DVD festival 
will be organised in the frame of MEDIAWAVE programs 
between 23-25 April in 2004 and will be accompanied 
by screenings of that works, which were made by the 
invited authors, lectures and workshops. 
Scene: Xantus János Museum baroque room, 
(5. Széchényi Square Gyõr, H-9021)

E n t r y  c o n d i t i o n s :

Every applicant can enter only with two works. 
One work cannot be longer than 10 minutes, but 
in reasonable case - which will be 
decided by the jury - it might be 12 minutes.
In the case of diaporama every entered work 
(series) must contain the following:

? Application form (downloadable www.mediawave.hu) 
filled out by block letters or typewriter, which 
includes the name, address of the applicant, the 
information and technical parameters of the entered 
work. 

? Magnetic tape or cassette indicated the title and 
the identification code of the work (series). In the 
case of tapes it is necessary to know the speed, 
noise derogatory system and any further information 
connecting to the lane distribution. Free-head tapes 
could not be used. For those applicants that use 
Tascam 424 it is important to indicate squarely 
the state of the noise derogatory system 
(on off-sync). This information will help to play 
back your series, as you would like. 

? Slides, on which the identification code of the work 
(series) indicated, and also a number, which is referred 
to the screening order and a colourful dot on the left 
edge of the slide (if we see in a way that appears on 
the screen.) Every slide of each work (series) 
must be 50x50 mm uniformly (potentially 3 mm thick) in 
a glassed frame. Sticks on label cannot be used.
 
? Addressed and stamped wrappings which is appropriate 
for returning (from Hungary to abroad instead of stamp 
we need an international reply coupon, IRC) 
In the case of CD-ROM and DVD every entered work must 
contain the following:

? Application form (downloadable: www.mediawave.hu)
? CD/DVD that includes the application. This work can 
be made by any technology (Power Point, Flash technology 
etc. which can be visualised by Windows 2000 or XP 
operational system, QuickTime Player, etc. or starting 
autoexe file.
? Addressed and stamped envelope which is appropriate 
for returning (from Hungary to abroad instead of stamp 
we need an international reply coupon, IRC)
We appreciate bilingual summing ups of the works for 
both diaporama, CD-ROM and DVD categories - because 
of the catalogues, program sheets and festival 
propaganda - especially if they are set in on floppy 
disk in MS-Word format. These summing ups cannot be
more than 10 lines.
