NSBE Stuff
The GTSBE site is a national finalist.
There are some other great sites though so I don’t know how it’ll do later on. There are a lot more entries this year. I know last year it was in the top three, but we’ll see.
Now that I’m going, I’m trying to enter every competition I can. Now that I’ve submitted the websites, I’m going to try to enter the Windows Media Skin challenge also. The judges are some big time media gurus which including:
Israel Cook – Graphics Designer, BET.com
Roger Hughlett – Technology Reporter, Washington Business Journal
Tavis Smiley – Commentator, The Tavis Smiley Show
Syreeta Thomas – 2004-2005 Chairperson, NSBE Region 6
Keith Toussaint – Windows Media Program Manager, Microsoft Corporation
Omar Wasow – Executive Director, Blackplanet.com
Roger Zimmerman, Ph.D. – Integrated Media Systems, University of Southern California
This could mean big things!!!
Prizes are:
5 Finalists Prizes: “Best Original Skin.” Each registered team member will receive an Xbox 360 video game system and an Xbox 360 game title (Estimated Retail Value $400). Actual game title to be determined by Sponsors.
First Place Prize: “Overall Best Skin.” Each registered team member will receive $500
