Opportunity

The Southeastern College Art Conference needs a new website design. Students from affiliated schools are invited to create a new design for the SECAC website to compete for a $1000 award. Competing designs should be implemented into a functioning website and uploaded onto the internet.

Requirements

• The site should be built with a basic static, multiple page XHTML structure that adheres to current WC3 standards for XHTML, CSS, and accessibility. Visit http://www.w3.org for more information about web standards.
• The site should not use databases, PHP, ASP, or any other content management system beyond basic Dreamweaver templates and library items.
• Adobe Flash can only be used for design elements (logo animations, slide shows), but not for content delivery-
• The site should not use frames.
• If a fixed-width layout is used in the design, the site should not exceed 900 pixels wide.
•Entrants should place the web address (URL) of their design on the attached entry form so that it can be accessed and viewed by the judges. Screen grabs or mockups will not be accepted. In this manner the design’s feasibility as a functioning website can be fully considered.
Entries should be postmarked or emailed no later than November 15th, 2008.
