Digital Media Arts Competition
Teachers, showcase your students’ creativity and artistic talent in our Digital Media Arts competition! Students create and submit original artwork to creatively express themselves through the use of digital media
technology.
Students can enter artwork in 1 of 5 categories:
Digital Arts Categories
- In the Graphic Design category, judges looked for well-executed designs that combined typography, graphics, and computer-generated imagery.
- Animation entries demonstrated storytelling using time and motion, with submissions no longer than five minutes.
- Website Development focused on complete, functional web pages with consistent layouts, hyperlinks, and effective imagery.
- The Photography category required images with digital manipulation techniques, while Short Film entries were 3-10 minute visual stories judged on camera operation, lighting, and editing.
All submissions must be received by February 14th, 2025 before 11:59pm. Any photos
