Student Showcase

Every year your students come up with amazing solutions to visual and technical problems in digital media. Celebrate their accomplishments! Give them a chance to show off what they, and your programs, can do.

We are accepting works of art and design, research, and game design for the 2012 Student Showcase in Miami, FL. DEADLINE: October 5. 2012.

About the Showcase
The iDMAa Student Showcase is a great opportunity for programs to recognize students who are pushing the boundaries of digital art and design, and is open to all academic programs focusing on digital media instruction.

Each program’s faculty will work with students to pre-select projects to showcase work that reflects the creative accomplishments of your students and your program. All of the work you submit will be exhibited at the Showcase in November, 2012.

Single entry Awards for Digital Art & Design, Research in Digital Media, and Game Design, and an overall Jury Showcase Award for a program exhibiting the best overall showcase will be presented at the conference. Outstanding student work and programs will be selected by a panel of distinguished jurors at the conference.

Download the “Intent to Exhibit” form. You will receive an invoice from iDMAa when we receive your form.

Space is limited so early notification of your program’s intent to exhibit is desirable for planning. We want to make sure there is room to display your student’s work to its best advantage.
