The National Schools Podcast Competition (NSPC) 2008, running for the second year, will see students from all levels competing to be the best in hosting their own show. This competition is brought to you by Elchemi Education and iSHOP by Club21 and supported by MDA, MediAction!, Mediacorp Radio and Podcast.sg.

This competition will allow schools to understand the technologies behind a podcast and how different media like video, audio, pictures and pdf files can be presented as a podcast and distributed for access by a general audience.

There will be a competition briefing on 16 February at 10am. Do email to rsvp@elchemi.net to reserve a space. Please include your name, school, contact no in your email.

In conjunction with the National Schools Podcast Competition 2008, we would be conducting a series of FREE podcast training for the students and teachers.

With this Gelaskin Digital Art Competition, we hope to unveil the hidden artists in our midst and simultaneously offer our young artists a platform to showcase their digital competencies. This is an effort to accentuate creativity within the student community in Singapore through digital media.

The competition is made up of two rounds:
• Preliminary round, where participants register and submit the artwork in softcopy to the respective host school
• Final round, where shortlisted participants create an artwork on the spot using digital imaging software
A panel of judges from GelaSkins (Canada) in its sole discretion will select the top 3 Designs of each category on March 28, 2008 after watching a series of presentations put forth by the 12 finalists from each category via iChat.

Theme: “Seeing in the eyes of the Beholder”

Registration will begin on 28 January and close on 17 March 2008.
