Calling all QUT students – Bluewire Media Prize for Web Design

Posted by Sarah McVeigh

Another year of uni is nearly through – it’s time for grades, grad shows and going on holiday.

In aid of the holiday budget, why not show off your web skills for the chance to win $500 through QUT’s Bluewire Media Prize for Web Design?

To be eligible, you must be a student at QUT. You can be from any discipline, in any year of study.

How to enter

You can submit a website built just for the prize, or one you’ve already made. You can go it alone, or team up with your mates. Tell us the URL, and include a short description of how your website meets the following criteria:

Web Strategy – What was your plan of attack? How did you achieve that?
Usability – How did you make the site user friendly?
Visual Design – How did you come up with such a good looking website?
Functionality – What can people use your site for? How do the site’s functions help the user?
Content – Who is your audience and how did you deliver your content to them?
Results – What real results can you show for the website? This can be anything from lots of visitors, great interaction through commenting or social media, or an example of how the goals of the website were met in any way.

Go to our website to enter. Entries close Monday 8th November, 2010.

Winners

The winner will be announced at the Communication Design graduation exhibition in early November.

Past winners have found the prize to be a great way to have their work recognised be industry leaders. Who knows, you might even bag an internship (or a job!).

“As a student, winning the Bluewire Media web design prize is a great addition to my resume. It shows that I can demonstrate good web design skills, judged from an industry perspective. When looking for a job after graduation, I think the prize will definitely give me a positive edge over other applicants.” Shelley Roach, winner 2009

“The prize is a great way to get yourself recognised as a web professional. You may even get a job – or be compelled to start a business – from it!” Matt Luscombe, winner 2007, Bluewire Media Web Developer
