The stage is set for high school students who have unique stories to tell about their world. The 2009 Adobe School Innovation Awards will honor the most innovative print, web, and video projects created with Adobe software.
Students can win valuable Adobe software — and an exciting awards ceremony will take place in the Best-of-Best Winner's own community. The winner will receive an award of Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 Master Collection software for use on up to 30 seats in a lab at the student's school (or home school). Students should start preparing their entries today.
The theme of the competition is The World is Your Stage. High school students (ages 14 to 19) can submit entries in three categories: Web Design and Development, Film and Video, and Graphic and Print Design. Category winners and finalists will be chosen, as well as the Best-of-Best Winner for the top overall submission.
The deadline for submissions is May 8, 2009, at 5pm (Pacific Time). Winners will be announced at the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) in June in Washington, D.C.
