Design a Virtual Robert Burns Monument
I thought members of this blog might be interested in a contest to design a virtual Robert Burns monument (the Scottish Poet) run by Simon Fraser University. There is a $300 (Canadian dollars) prize. The information is below and is also available on the university website at http://www.sfu.ca/scottish/
Contest to Create Virtual Burns Memorial
The Centre for Scottish Studies at Simon Fraser University is holding a contest to create a virtual memorial to Robert Burns that is suitable for a twenty-first century mobile and globalized world. Statues, busts and portraits played an important part in interpreting Burns in nineteenth-century culture. We are looking for an image more suitable for our contemporary time and media in order to convey the fact that Burns's messages regarding universal brotherhood (and, by extension, sisterhood), respect for nature, and the uplifting power of the human spirit have never been more relevant. The deadline for entry is April 1, 2009. The winning design will be awarded $300 (Canadian) and will appear in Second Life on SFU's island. (Second Life is a virtual environment increasingly popular with students and educators interested in collaborative virtual learning). The unveiling will be at the Transatlantic Burns Conference, April 7-9 at SFU. For more details or to submit an entry (preferably in digital format), contact: Leith Davis at leith@sfu.ca
