4Humanities.org is delighted to announce that the Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) will be its partner in promoting the results of the “Shout Out for the Humanities” student prize contest. With the assistance of students interested in electronic literature, digital humanities, and new media, Dene Grigar (President of ELO) and other members of ELO’s creative digital writing and arts community will work with the contest submissions once judging has occurred to create an innovative digital exhibit. (Contest submissions are made under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license.)
The exhibit will be showcased at the ELO 2016 conference to be held June 10-12, 2016, at the University of Victoria, Canada, in conjunction with this year’s Digital Humanities Summer institute. It will also be put online and promoted by both 4Humanities and ELO to help get the word out to the public about what students have to say when they “shout out for the humanities.”
