As submissions to the Visual Music Award 2015 and the Visual Music Live Contest 2015 we expect interpretations of music by visionary artistic visualisations. The holistic media compositions should come close to "paintings in time", "visual music", "symphonies of light and sound", "cinematic paintings", "color light music" or "space light art".

This year's prize winners and awardees will receive a certificate and also prizes by our sponsors as well as a unique presentation of their works at the evening of the prize ceremony planned in July in Gelnhausen, the birthplace of Oskar Fischinger.

The VMA is created and organised by INM-Institute for New Media (www.inm.de), Frankfurt.
