For all contributors to the Contest, a weekly window will pop up on the International net.radio Prize Contest's Answering Machine, so that you will be able to upload your Advurts: The number you have to dial to is 0043 14012142.

Visitors at Kunsthalle Exnergasse will be able to listen to all Advurts which are uploaded on the International net.radio Prize Contest's Answering Machine during the exhibition's opening times by taking a seat on one of convex tv.'s famous "test beds" (the Formica-Furniture http://www.art-bag.org/convextv/gifs/zubotton.gif, not the Berlin space), which will thus serve as an audioserver.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Please make sure you ONLY call on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 19:00 CET to 11:00 CET the following morning - otherwise your Advurt will only reach the Hear-Only-Memory-Ears of some friendly office clerks at Kunsthalle Exnergasse.

All valid entries will be put on the art-bag-server after February 19 so you will be able to enjoy the most current ideas of promoting net.radio in retrospective online.

The winner will be elected and announced after February 19 by the dependent International net.radio Prize Contest's Jury and will be awarded a net.radio!

The jingle may be anonymised and it might refer to existing or non-existing net.radio-stations or -projects. In any case please make sure: Do not forget to confirm your submission by sending a message to ses@art-bag.org, giving a very short summary/description of your Advurt and the time of uploading, so we can return to you with the prize.
