Smart Futures Competition for Schools

Smart Futures, a national campaign for the promotion of careers in information and communication technology (ICT), are holding a brilliant competition asking second level students in Ireland to create a piece of digital media. The theme of the digital content is “Smart Futures” but students can interpret the theme whichever way you wish. 

The competition is open to all second-level students living in and attending school in Ireland and only individual entries are allowed. There are eight categories (animation, audio, game, mobile app, podcast, tech article, video or website) and you can enter as many categories as you like, but only one submission will be allowed per category. There are some excellent prizes up for grabs including an Xbox Kinect, smartphones, HP laptop, iPad, Samsung Home Cinema and lots more. There are even student work experience placements with top ICT companies on offer. If you're a teacher why now download a Smart Futures Competition Poster for your school here.
