but. why a student can only do a 2d still? don't understand.

[vizwhiz]

hi There,

 

HeDaCom

 

so far every Student who has sent in Images

only 1 of the Students has had his own website,

 

irrelevent i guess

 

the Thinking (or lack of it) was that this would make it easier for Students to submit an Image without being resource intensive, like Animations are

 

Students could submit Panoramics or Animations if they wanted too (not a problem to me) i just dont have a category for it yet (maybe later)

 

i was trying to not make it too difficult to compete (some people may more more resources than others) or not have their own computers at home, just at school

 

so i decided to stick with 2d Stills, only

 

Thanks for the comments, i appreciate and welcome comments Ideas suggestions on how to make this work for more Students to participate (VIZ only so far, but Change happens)

 

actually no Images are "submitted" i just put a Link back to the persons own (companys) website (i am lazy) and this avoids the corporate copyright issues (less work for me to make just a Link)

 

Thanks

if you want more suggestions... I think you can improve the navigation system or something... I found it difficult to understand how to enter in the iContest, and what was the contest about...and so. I don't blame you... probably it's because I don't sleep too much recently. heh

 

cheers
