The Prix Ars Electronica 2001 marks the 15th edition of the competition for cyberarts, which is organized by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF), Upper Austrian Regional Studio, in conjunction with the Ars Electronica Festival. From the start, the Prix Ars Electronica has been conceived as an open platform for various disciplines in the field of digital media design at the intersection of technology, art, science and society.

The Prix Ars Electronica 2001 is announced internationally for the categories of Net Vision / Net Excellence, Interactive Art, Digital Musics, Computer Animation/Visual Effects. In addition, there is also a competition category for young people under the age of 19 in Austria: Cybergeneration - u19 freestyle computing. The international juries will award 6 x 3 money prizes and 6x up to 12 Honorary Mentions. The total prize money for the Prix Ars Electronica 2001 amounts to Euro 100.000 (US$ 89,700). Selected works of all categories will be presented to the public in the exhibition Cyberarts 2001 at the O.K Center for Contemporary Art during the Ars Electronica Festival.
