Cross Media Awards & Courses

I’m collating lists of awards for cross-media productions and courses in cross-media design. 

Awards 

I don’t have many at this stage. The problem is, of course, that many people don’t realise that cross-media entertainment is an artform in itself, just like a feature film is, or a TV show. There are some cross-media productions that are given awards within the extant parameters, but are not really appropriate. They’re stretching the boundaries really. This is what I have so far, in my wiki:

• 1 Categories
  • 1.1 Best Cross-Media Campaign
  • 1.2 Best Cross-Platform Content/Content Integration (Aus)
  • 1.3 Excellence in Cross Platform Category (Canada)
• 2 Overall Awards
  • 2.1 Cross Media Awards (Amsterdam)
  • 2.2 International Interactive Emmy Awards (International)

Courses

I’m looking for courses in Academia & Industry. I’m sure there are plenty more, but here is a good sample of what I have so far:

• 1 Academia
  • 1.1 Advanced Media Production (Aus)
  • 1.2 The Entertainment Experience: Cross-Media Forms and Interactive Technologies (Aus)
• 2 Industry
  • 2.1 The AFI Digital Content Lab (AFI DCL) (USA)
  • 2.2 Convergence Jam (Aus)
  • 2.3 Cross-Channel Review Boot Camp (USA)
  • 2.4 Cross-Platform Media Teams (USA)
  • 2.5 Interactive Project Lab (IPL) (Canada)
  • 2.6 Laboratory of Advanced Media Production (LAMP) (Aus)
  • 2.7 Let’s Work with Kids! (Sweden)
  • 2.8 Time_Place_Space (Aus)
  • 2.9 Vocational Training for European Instructors (VocINet) (Tampere)
  • 2.10 What’s All This Talk About Cross Platform and New Media? (Aus)
  • 2.11 X|Media+Lab (Aus)  

I know there are more, I’ve come across them but for some reason cannot find them again. Let me know of any awards and courses you’re aware of I could add to these lists.
