Presentation
During the Internet Fiesta thousands and even millions of human beings, stemming from the various cultural backgrounds of the planet Earth will once more exchange their ideas, present their respective identities and tell about their conceptions on a philosophical point of view as well as on a technological one or religious one or, of course, cultural or artistic one.

Strengthened for five years by this reality, the Internet Fiesta Committee and the official commissioners took the decision to organise the Digit World Contest for Artistic and Cultural Heritage during the fifth edition of the Internet Fiesta.

Knowing that the Fifth edition of the Internet Fiesta is dedicated to all the expatriated persons in the world, all those who live far away from home for all sorts of reasons but want to keep in contact with their culture and their roots. One of the main purpose of the Internet Fiesta is to favour the apparition of new ways of living with each other, accepting one an other's differences and singularities, because, even nowadays, different cultures have a tendency to ignore if not depreciate each other. The Commissariat of the Internet Fiesta wishes to promote Internet sites which vocation is to promote, to defend, to protect or to conserve cultural and/or artistic heritage.

Participating country by participating country, the best realisations stemming from each culture will be rewarded so. The internet Fiesta remains even more faithful to its philosophy "Learn to see and see by comparing".

Why a contest ?
The candidates participating in a contest generally think that they will be judged, compared to one an other and eventually graduated for the competitiveness of their realisation. Our goal is not however to stimulate the sense of competition of the contestants.

The objective of the present contest is to incite the creation of multimedia tools and services and first of all, Internet sites, in the sector of conservation, promotion and defence of cultural and/or artistic heritage.

What is to be expected?

A) For the contestants
The present contest has been conceived to provide answers to the expectations of public institutions as well as professionals of the numerical industry. Through new promotional e-platforms and awards, they are seeking new ways, new forms of visibility, in order to show their expertise and underline the quality of their work.

Obtaining an award remains the more efficient of all tools of valorisation and success. It allows in particular the awarded contestant to raise its credibility among its own network by propping up its reputation and even gaining prestige. For a national or regional institution it is a real communication instrument that displays the specificities of the institution in the best possible way.

An international award is a factor of multiplication of notoriety on a national or regional point of view. The weavers of the Internet Fiesta, which is a world wide, non profitable, honourable and which occurs every year since 1998, will grant award and citations which will be a very good subject for the granted contestants to be published in the local or regional media. This in itself will constitute a remarkable growth of the impact of the communication of the awarded contestant. The consequences will be, of course, depending on the contestant position in the various prize list but also of the quality of his own promotion previous to his participation in the contest.

B) For the Internet Fiesta
The contest will allow the Internet Fiesta to gather precious indications about the web users favourite subjects. The awarded web sites will provide useful information about cultural particularities and national or regional specificities on our planet in this beginning of the 21st century. They will also provide an accurate image of what is done in every domain linked a way or an other to the protection, the conservation, the renewal and the promotion of the cultural heritage.

Nota Bene : The Internet Fiesta Committee will use this occasion, in association with expo4art, the hub of contemporary creation, to show that new numerical supports as Internet are not only display windows opening on the nowadays world of creation set to promote artists and creators and established as short way designed to short circuit traditional commerce network but real actual support for new forms of artistic expression in which "the work itself becomes non material".
