What are we looking for?

In this years competition we are asking schools to use technology to describe how they would change an aspect of their local community for the better.

Schools are encouraged to focus on an issue they really care about, such as tackling bullying or littering, helping to improve their local environment or supporting their community.

Your entry can be in any format which you can e-mail to us and could comprise:

• a Powerpoint presentation
• electronic versions of posters
• flyers or an animated poster
• a recording of a radio ad
• videos
• a website
• podcasts
• or a combination of any or all of the above

The more creative your entry the better!

When you send in your entry you will also be asked to answer three questions:

1. How did you use technology to create your entry?
2. How can technology help you to reach a larger audience?
3. How can technology help to make a bigger impact?

The judges will be looking for:

• A clear outline of how you have used IT to create your entry
• Creativity of your entry
• Clear communication of your ideas
