Furthermore, we introduced a couple of changes to our hackathon concept: * This year's focus was on creating softwares or artefacts that engage an audience – either online or in form of exhibits/installations. We thereby also encouraged the use of non-standard hardware, such as virtual reality equipment and the like. * The two hackathon days were followed by a public project presentation event on Sunday afternoon, where visitors had the possibility to test the products and to meet their creators. Symbolic prizes were awarded to the best projects in several categories. ===== Swiss GLAMhack Awards ===== The Swiss GLAMhack Awards took place on Sunday, 28 October. **Categories** The jury awarded prizes in the following categories (one winning project per category): * **Perfectly made** (for the project that enables the greatest gain in knowledge): winner [[project:web_exhibition|Ask the Artist]] * **Stunningly beautiful** (for the project that best highlights one or more open cultural dataset(s)): winner [[project:historical_tours|Zurich Historical Photo Tours]] * **Brand new** (for the most innovative or original project): winner [[project:virtual_3d_exhibition|Walking Around the Globe – 3D Picture Exhibition]] The audience awarded the prize in the category: * **Biggest round of applause**: winner [[project:web_exhibition|Ask the Artist]] **Members of the jury** * Sonja Gasser (Kunsthaus Zürich & Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) * Michael Kempf (Landesmuseum Zürich ) * Enrico Natale (infoclio.ch) * Mathias Müller (Institut für Computerlingustik, Universität Zürich) * Lothar Schmitt (Zentralbibliothek Zürich) * Michael Gasser (ETH-Bibliothek) {{ :glam:jury.jpeg |}} The members of the Jury.
