Update Oct 15, 2024: The winning team has decided to donate the cash portion of the award to LI-MA (Amsterdam).
Located in Amsterdam, LI-MA is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, curation, and research of media and digital art. More than 3500 artworks are under their care, LI-MA's exhibitions and conference programs have international impact. Unfortunately, LI-MA's future is currently at risk due to funding cuts.
By donating our award, we aim to raise awareness of their situation. You can find more information here: https://li-ma.nl/article/li-ma-s-future-is-in-danger/
