Into the Pixel 2008 - now accepting submissions

Just got this email from the Into the Pixel folks and thought I'd share here...
------------
As a past participant of Into the Pixel (ITP) and/or one of our many ITP friends, we are pleased to announce that Into the Pixel 2008 is now open for submissions. As you know, Into the Pixel is the world's only exhibition that brings together the fine art and digital art worlds to explore and celebrate the art of the video game.

The sixteen artists that will be selected for this year's class will join a well-regarded group of notable artists, such as Daniel Dociu, Stephan Martiniere, Deane Taylor and Ryan Stevenson. The highly visible Into the Pixel collection, featured at both national and international events, will be shown at the Design-Center in Stuttgart, Germany during May 2008, and was recently on display at San Francisco's Hotel des Arts and the 2007 Toronto Film Festival.

We ask that you please forward this email to anyone you know who may want to submit their art for consideration by the 2008 ITP Jury. The deadline for submitting art is May 21, 2008.

For more information on this year's jury, past years' Collections, and/or to submit art, please go to http://www.intothepixel.com/.
