We are delighted to announce the list of first and second place winners in the Smart Futures digital content competition, which was launched on 12 December 2011. Students were asked to create a piece of digital content in a number of different areas and we were very impressed with the standard and innovative ideas that the submissions demonstrated.
Each category was judged by a seperate judging panel made up of Industry professionals. We will be publishing the winning content on the blog over the coming weeks, so stay tuned for that!
A big thank you to all who entered and to all the sponsoring companies for their support.
