Организатора конкурса Amdocs, мировой производитель ПО для телекоммуникационной индустрии, обращаются к молодым дизайнерам и художникам с призывом : Can you design an amazing vision for Convergence? В данном случае процесс конвергенции - это объединение нескольких, бывших ранее раздельными, услуг в рамках одной услуги. Например, Triple Play — объединение телефонии, интернета, телевидения в одном кабельном интернет-подключении.  Люди взаимодействуют в twitter, в Google Circles на Facebook, это становится возможным благодаря совместной работе сетей и средств связи. Если у вас есть идеи по визуальной реализации такого процесса – дерзайте! Конкурс бесплатный и призы отличные. За первое место: 5000 долларов, за второе - MacBook Pro , за третье - iPad2.

ABOUT

What is the Art of Convergence?In the real-world and online, Convergence is all around us. We converge in conferences, tweetups, Google Circles and flash mobs. We converge in protests, music concerts and Facebook groups. A lot of this happens because of the networks and communication systems that provide us consistent, persistent connectivity.
In telecommunications, Convergence is known as the business and technological principle that brings together multiple systems, networks, processes and organizations in order to enable, ultimately, a better experience for the customers of telecommunication service providers. Amdocs is a leading global provider of software and services for the world’s largest communications service providers, such as Vodafone, BT and T-Mobile, who use them to converge their business and network systems and operations. Amdocs has decided to augment its customer communications by harnessing the aesthetic appeal of the Convergence Principle. Amdocs seeks to embed, in its commercial and marketing communications, instances of works of visual art in which that principle is most creatively manifest. Hence the Art of Convergence competition!
This competition calls upon young and upstart designers, in various disciplines, to create a compelling, cool or otherwise stunning visual interpretation of the convergence of individuals or communities through communications. If you have such an original vision of Convergence and the ability to design it, Enter the competition for a chance to win exceptional prizes and gain valuable exposure and recognition.
