IISD students produced projects in 12 categories focused on the theme "Digital Destination". Contest categories include the following: digitized video-90 second maximum, digitized video-90 seconds to three minute maximum, animation, digitized audio-three minute maximum, digital graphics-original illustrated art, digital graphics-product design, multipage desktop publishing, single page desktop publishing, user interactive/branching multimedia, linear multimedia, and website design.
Student first-place winners from all categories except digitally submitted photography will be submitted for state-level competition.
The IISD media fair is based on a state-level competition sponsored by the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) and entries followed the same rubric by which projects are judged at the state level.
Students have worked on their projects since last fall and the deadline to submit entries was December 5. Approximately 2,600 entries were submitted and district winners will be highlighted at the fair.
