The winners for the New Media Writing Prize have been announced.
The winner for the New Media Writing Prize 2011 was Loss of Grasp created by Serge Bouchardon and Vincent Volckaert (France). The judges loved the piece because the reader had to interact in order to unfold the story, and its ability to give the reader that sense of losing control as events unfold. It was also beautifully executed and the story could either be read in a linear or non-linear way.
