Students entering this contest are required to develop a
homepage and one interior page for an educational website that does not yet
exist on the web. The site does not have to be live, but those that are will be
awarded additional points towards final score. These pages must be submitted as
an image file (ex. jpeg, pdf, tif.) The site should be related to a school
class or club and should reflect a collaborative effort between a “pseudo
client” and the student as the designer. The client can be a number of
different people, including a teacher, an administrator, or a professional in
the field. The student should also include a log of meetings with their client
as well as a budget to follow—this should include a simple breakdown of the
design, development, hosting and maintenance costs for their site.
A written essay or video is required to describe the process
students used to collaborate with their client to ensure their design and/or
website met their client’s needs, why they chose this contest, why they deserve
the scholarship and how they went above and beyond the requirements. They
should also include their future education plans and any other relevant
information. A letter of recommendation shall accompany the submission.
