'Metamute Meets Echelon - A Literary Competition'
to coincide with Jam Echelon Day 2001.

Fax/snail see below.
Echelon is the worldwide signals intelligence network run by the US
National Security Agency and the UK Government Communications
Headquarters in collaboration with Canada, Australia and New
Zealand. Echelon uses large ground-based radio antennae in the
United States, Italy, the UK, Turkey, New Zealand, Canada,
Australia, and several other countries to intercept satellite
transmissions and some surface traffic, as well as employing
satellites to tap transmissions between cities.
Echelon is reportedly capable of interecepting large portions of the
world's communications, including phone conversations, email and
SMS. It uses dictionaries to search for keywords that various
security services consider to be of interest. Under the ECHELON
system, a particular station's dictionary computer contains not only
its parent agency's chosen keywords, but also a list for each of the
other four agencies. Each station collects all the telephone calls,
faxes, telexes, emails, internet traffic and other communications
that pass through it and compares them against this list of keywords.
The rationale of Jam Echelon Day was to use the publically available
list of Echelon keywords to confuse the system by flooding the
Internet with emails containing the list and to raise public
awareness of the existence of Echelon and the fact that personal
communications may be being monitored.
One criticim of the Jam Echelon project is that Echelon is too
sophisticated to respond to simple lists of words. Reportedly,
Echelon analyses the grammatical structure of sentences and the
context in which keywords arise. Metamute Meets Echelon has been
created to motivate the production of fictional works that use the
Echelon wordlist with the degree of sophisticated contextualisation
that could actually cause the system to notice and respond. Or at
least get seriously confused.
Rules
Participants should utilise words from the Echelon dictionary
http://metamute.com/echelonlist.txt to produce an original literary
work. Any literary genre is admissable - from short stories to drama
to poetry to speeches to the epistolary form. Fictional company
memos and e-mail exchanges are admissable, as are IRC and SMS
conversations, or any other form.
The work produced must not be about Echelon in any way, shape or
form, and the term 'Echelon' must not appear anywhere in the work.
1st Prize in the competition is 500 Euros, and two runners up will
each receive a prize of 250 Euros each.
Judges' criteria
Entries will be judged against two key criteria: 1) the literary
merit of the piece of work and 2) the number of words from the
Echelon word list that are present in the work.
Both criteria are given equal weight. For example, a piece with good
literary merit and fewer Echelon keywords will not necessarily lose
to a weaker piece that contains more keywords. Indeed, where it is
felt that the overuse of words from the Echelon wordlist has
actively impaired the literary quality, entries will be marked down.
Simple lists of keywords in an entry will automatically disqualify
it.
'Literary merit' is decided by the judges, and their decision is
final.
Conditions
1. Entries must be received by 21st October 2001. Entries may emailed
to echelon@metamute.com, posted to Mute Magazine, 2nd Floor East,
Universal House, 88-94 Wentworth St., London E1 7SA. Faxed to +44
[0] 20 7377 9520 or SMS +44 [0]7866830757. Entries will be accepted
either on paper or as digital media.
2. Entrants may submit multiple entries up to a maximum of 10 in
total.
3. The upper word limit for entries is 2,500 words. Any entries over
this length (i.e, 2501 words or more) will be automatically
disqualified.
4. Metamute reserves the right now or in the future to publish
entires in
any form.
5. Entries must be entirely fictional.
