Dear colleagues,
The ICOM International Committee for Exhibitions and Exchange (ICEE) is collaborating with izi.TRAVEL, free audio guide platform, to provide opportunities for ICOM members to participate in the ICEE 2016 conference from 4 to 7 July, in Milan, in connection with the ICOM General Conference.
izi.TRAVEL is a global storytelling platform that allows any museum to create an indoor or outdoor audio guide in the form of mobile or web app FREE of charge https://izi.travel/en. Please see their <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHLvz2kyYPA> introduction video<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHLvz2kyYPA>
We are happy to invite you to participate in the audio guide creation contest, organized by izi.TRAVEL in partnership with ICEE.
The contest is addressed to ICOM members in the countries of categories 3 and 4 <http://icom.museum/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf/Membership/Categories_eng.pdf> http://icom.museum/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf/Membership/Categories_eng.pdf
The aim of the competition is to motivate museum and heritage experts to express their creativity and vision on what good content is, by creating audio guides using the izi.TRAVEL platform.
No doubt that museum should not be just a storage place for preserving items but a place where visitor may encounter many interesting stories. Being a storytelling platform, izi.TRAVEL is naturally looking for the best approaches in this field. The intention of the contest is to collect ideas, methods, tips and tricks that make museum audio guides engaging, entertaining and fitting to our dynamic, mobile world.
A Jury consisting of representatives from both ICEE board and izi.TRAVEL will rate the guides. We'd like to draw your attention to the fact that it won't be a quality of recording that will be rated but the content and skill of storytelling.
The guides should be published on izi.TRAVEL platform before June 10, 2016. The top 3 tours will be announced June 13th and as a prize they will be granted free registrations to the ICOM conference in Milan, with additional coverage for travel and accommodation (subject to limitations). The winners of the competition will also be presented to the ICEE conference attendees at the networking reception on 7 July at Museo delle Culture (MUDEC), via Tortona 56, Milano.
Other terms, conditions and advices.
We want to draw your attention to the fact that there's no need in specific equipment or recording studio to make a good audio tour. You can record a charismatic curator in the museum itself using a simple voice recorder or even a smartphone. The background sounds will only make the stories more lively and entertaining.
Prepare a tour for your exhibition in English. It should have 15-20 stories/items. The recommended length of one story (item: painting, sculpture, handcrafts, history, the whole hall etc.) is 1 - 2 minutes. Each story contains 1 or more pictures about the item, text description and recorded audio.
Register your museum on izi.TRAVEL (registration link at the bottom) and read section Help<http://academy.izi.travel/help/production/cms-for-museums/> on how to enter the tour into the system.
Vous êtes invités à soumettre votre audioguide aussi en français.
