[Dprglist] Fw: 2nd Annual Robot Art Competition 2017

[DPRG Secretary]

-All,
     Here is an interesting opportunity for members looking to do a group project and helping DPRG. The Robotic Art Competition is an international competition open to all (though it is aimed at schools and universities) to generate robotic art. This contest specifically targets painting. Most teams use a robot arm. I think a x/y table style CNC would be easier. The main  deliverables are images of the generated art and a video of its creation. Information about the contest and a gallery of last year’s winners is at robostart.org.

    For a non-school team 100% of the winnings must be donated to a US based charity. DPRG is a US based charity . 

    Would anyone be interested in forming a DPRG team? Let me know, by sending me an email. The deadline for submission of the art is April 15th. The deadline for team registration is April 1st. 

    I confirmed that there would be no entry fee for DPRG from the contest officials.

Regards,
Doug P.
DPRG Secretary

Hi, 


Thought you might be interested in the 2nd Annual Robot Art Competition, which features $100,000 in cash prizes. We're a nonprofit, and the contest is free to enter and open to any age. The goal is to challenge students to produce something visually beautiful with robotics. It's ideal for robotic student projects involved in robotic planning and image processing, especially those who have an appreciation for art. Details, team signup, and last year's winners are at http://robotart.org.  Robotart | The Robotic Art Competition
      robotart.org
      RobotArt – the $100,000 Robot Art competition! The 2017 second annual robotic art competition with $100,000 in cash prizes is now open for team registration. 



There is no cost to educational institutions or to students to enter, and students can use any robotic system to produce the artwork. While most teams are using existing robotic arms, the contest is open to custom hardware. Students can enter up to six paintings in each of the competition categories of "fully automated execution" and "manually (semi or tele-robotic) generated" art, where generally, there is little or no specialized software used to control the robot.

The deadline for artwork submission is April 3rd. If you have questions or ideas on who I should contact to help spread the word, please let me know.

Thanks for your time.
