The 2009 National Web Design Contest has come to a close and we are tallying the scores so we can announce the winners this evening in front of a crowd of 15,000 people at the Kemper Center in downtown Kansas City, MO.
Gold, Silver and Bronze winners will be announced in the high school and college category with over 190,000 in scholarships and prizes to be given away. WOW’s mission is to support Web professionals with career pathways and employment resources and this contest goes a long way to support the cause.
For today’s podcast and to help me communicate the value of this effort to WOW members and Web professionals everywhere, I interviewed Professor Mark DuBois. WOW’s Education Director who’s been onsite with me all week to manage the contest for a response to the following questions.
* Why is this contest important?
* Complexity of the judging process.
Check out the two minute podcast on today’s Web Professional Minute website.
I’d like like to give a special shout out to the judges for their support and for staying up all night to tally the scores.
