Seven students from across Australia have won a national, ACS Foundation-sponsored competition hosted on YouTube, after being asked to create a short video on “what information technology means to them”.
The ICT Week video competition, the aim of which
was to help raise the profile of IT-enabled careers, attracted national
interest with over 14,000 views of the competition website and the
videos. The competition was promoted to school and university students
as well as young IT professionals.
Winning video clips were created by Mardi Bridges of Casterton,
Victoria; Joshua Ballico of Waratah, New South Wales; Ben Schultz of
Geelong, Victoria; Natalie Hayter of Rooty Hill, NSW; Dale Smithers of
Sydney, NSW; and Matthew Berry and Paulo Nacianceno of Clovelly Park,
South Australia.
ACS Foundation’s John Ridge said the foundation was “extremely pleased
with the quality and variety of video entries,” and he added, “it bodes
very well for the future career prospects of IT professionals in
Australia.” We were also delighted that we had more than 14,000 views
of the web site and the videos.”
Ridge said that with a video limit of two minutes duration, the winning
clips addressed topics such as global careers, lifestyle, world
problems, creativity, relationships and daily life.
“The video genres ranged from comedic monologues to animated cartoon
clips. Of course, the central theme in all the entries was the
potential of Information Technology.”
All winners received an Apple iPod touch and were also awarded student membership with the ACS.
The winning videos can be viewed at the competition website.
