Call for Submissions: SPACE-TIME 2007

Gallery View student work from previous years.

The ACM SIGGRAPH Education Committee (ASEC) is sponsoring the SPACE-TIME Student Competition. The juried competition in print, linear animation and interactivity provides an excellent opportunity for students working in computer based media to exhibit their creative work nationally and internationally. It is open to all students currently attending elementary or secondary schools, colleges or universities. We encourage professors and teachers to have their students enter this prestigious competition.

Selected projects will be on exhibit in San Diego, California at the SIGGRAPH 2007 conference. Winning entries will also tour nationally and internationally for approximately one year with the traveling show conducted by the ACM SIGGRAPH Education Committee. Selected projects or project segments from the entries may be included on the ACM SIGGRAPH Education Committee Website and in promotional materials distributed at the conference. The first place winner in each competition will receive one student conference passport to the SIGGRAPH Conference.
