Share Prize for electronic artists; deadline coming up

*It is my pleasure and privilege to judge this thing. Are you an electronic artist? Does the prospect of hanging out in glamorous Turin munching grissini and swilling Barbera appeal to you? Do you realize that Share Festival will fly you and your hardware over here? Send in an entry.

Dear friends of the Share Festival,
