4.0 BEST DIGITAL PHOTO DAAAM AWARD

Importance of digital photography for research, publishing and social relations is rapidly increased during last time. For that reason we are going to establish DAAAM International Photo Gallery with photos which are related to the symposium and our activities (place, people, situation, art, special effects). The gallery will be free accessed and searchable. For this project we are looking for amateur photographs among the participants to be official photographs of DAAAM International and member of DAAAM International Photo Team. Digital photos can be given during the symposium to the organizer, or send after symposium by e-mail. All photos which are technically good made will be included in the gallery. On the next symposium the up to three authors of nicest photos will get Best Digital Photo Award.

5.0 BEST TASTE AND SMELL OF DAAAM AWARD

"Best Taste and Smell of DAAAM International": Many of colleagues in DAAAM International network are excellent hobby cooks, liquor maker or winemaker. Each year we are making small tasting of their specialities under the motto "Best taste and smell of DAAAM International". Authors are encouraged to bring some self-made specialities to DAAAM symposium. The best will be honoured with "Best Taste and Smell DAAAM International Award". Due to the internal regulation in Austria Center Vienna in the year 2009 this activity will be not organised.
