For the first time a prize for digital projects  took its place alongside Fedora’s prestigious prizes for opera, ballet and education, with the IMZ acting as expert partner in the competition process. Among all shortlisted projects, four digital projects were selected + announced and supported by crowfunding campaigns during the summer of 2020.

To mark this new initiative and to acknowledge the importance of digital innovation for the Performing Arts, Peter Maniura and Katharina Jeschke introduced the shortlisted projects and through them examined the crucial relationship between technological and creative innovation. They offered insights into what makes a really good creative collaboration and a successful audience experience.
