In 2008, Critical Endeavour took place within the frames of ImPulsTanz - Vienna International Dance Festival.
The award, the Ö1 Prix Jardin d’Europe, discerned 10,000 € as production grant for the first prize, and two residencies for the second and third prize. For the latter, the invited journalists will be acting as the jury, discuss the presented work, define categories, set up criteria, and distil an ethics of judgement as it were. Concerning the former, participants were offered a broad range of possibilities for writing, publishing, experimenting and debating their concerns and their aesthetic / viewing experience gained via the wide range of choreographic work programmed during ImPulsTanz.
