The Demoparty Online Competition 2011 is part of the Mozilla Labs Demoparty Project, an initiative to foster artful exploration of open web technologies.

We asked people from the demo scene to have a go at web technologies and (with WebGL being the absolute winner of course) managed to collect over 100 submissions. Now the judges have spoken and we picked the winners in the categories of Main Demo, Single Effect, Audio Demo, Animated GIF and pure CSS demo.

Amongst other great examples of using technology in a purely creative way unhindered by real life application needs here are the winners of Demo and Single Effect:

Main Demo: Akemi

Single Effect: WebGL Water Simulation

We congratulate all the winners and thank all those who contributed. Playing with technology is a big part of making it interesting for everyone to use.
