About the Awards
All fellowship recipients will participate in a one-week residency June 18-22 ,2007 at USC’s Institute for Multimedia Literacy, where they will have access to state of the art production facilities. Fellows work in collaboration with world-class designers and Vectors’ technical support and programming team during the residency; this collaboration will continue throughout the project’s development.

The residency will include colloquia and working sessions in which
participants will develop project foundations and collectively engage relevant issues in scholarly multimedia. Applicants need not be proficient with new media authoring, but must demonstrate familiarity with the potentials of digital media forms and clearly articulate their motivations for creating a digital project. Evidence of the capacity for successful collaboration and for scholarly innovation is required. Fellowship awards will include an honorarium of $1500 for each participant or team of collaborators, in addition to travel and accommodation expenses.
