Renderfarm.fi receives the EUROPRIX Quality Seal

I'm happy to announce that we received notice today that Renderfarm.fi has been chosen to receive the EUROPRIX Quality Seal. EUROPRIX was started by the Austrian presidency in 1998 as an EU member states initiative, supported by the European Commission DG Enterprise and Information Society, governments of other countries in the European Union and private industry. Its main activity was the organisation of the pan-European Multimedia Content Award.

Anja Pohl from the EUROPRIX offices in Salzburg, Austria writes:

We would like to thank you very much for your participation in the EUROPRIX Multimedia Awards 2010. We want to congratulate you on the high quality of your EUROPRIX Multimedia Awards 2010 entry and are delighted to inform you that your project with the ID 1049 was awarded the official EUROPRIX Quality Seal. The Quality Seal winners will be showcased within September on the EUROPRIX website.

Your achievement is outstanding because 299 entries from 30 countries were evaluated by the jury team of the EUROPRIX Multimedia Awards. Your project was evaluated in two rounds by two different panels of jurors. By awarding the quality seal they wish to recommend your project to consumers and users. The EUROPRIX Quality Seal is proof that your project is highly innovative and creative. Only 36 projects received the quality seal.

It goes without saying that Renderfarm.fi's success in this multimedia competition is directly tied to the work carried out for years by Janus Kristensen in BURP. In this I think the Quality Seal should apply to the original project aswell. Equally I think this has been a team effort so I'd like to thank my development team of Nathan Letwory, Jesse Kaukonen, Olivier Romand and Samuel Anjam for their efforts. I also thought that this would also be a perfect time to thank all the people who've contributed to the project in the form of their thesis works and/or traineeships at Laurea UAS: Lauri Viitala, Lassi Haaranen, Heikki Seppälä, Niko Suomalainen, Jani Lintunen, Juha Laakso and Laura Aspholm. Finally I'd like to thank all of you - the volunteers. You make Renderfarm.fi possible. :)
