* Trans-locational collaborative projects will be preferred
* Projects proposed by cultural groups traditionally under-represented at international events will be preferred

2. The selected projects should expose to fournos-culture the progress of their work during their implementation procedure. They should remain open to on-line public discussions and cooperation proposals and should be formed by the exchange of ideas and interaction with the public.

3. The selected projects will be physically presented in or net-connected to Medi@terra 2000 International Festival, Athens in the form of a parallel event (exhibition, projection, on-line connection etc.), workshop or other venue to be judged attainable by the organisers, taking into account technical requirements and cost.
