Competitions
deadline extended until Friday, August 17, 2001.
NOTE: If submitting printed entries, mail hard copies
to the judge in that category, i.e. Category 2: Computing
Newsletter - mail to Marilyn Francis.
Overview
Each
year ACM/SIGUCCS sponsors a competition to honor the
best publications, web sites and promotional materials
produced by university and college computing centers.
The
competitions recognize excellence in developing useful
and attractive publications and provide SIGUCCS conference
participants with an opportunity to review model publications
that may help them develop or enhance their own work.
Awards
for the competitions will be presented at the ACM SIGUCCS
Fall User Services Conference, Portland, Oregon, October
17-20, 2001.
The
first prize for each category will be awarded to the
overall top entry. However, in recognition of the differences
in resources available to small schools versus large
institutions, there will be two award levels in each
category for second and third prizes. Schools with less
than 4000 full-time undergrads will compete in level
1 and those with 4000 or more, in level 2.
The
entries will be displayed during the conference for
perusal by the conference participants.
To
better align the competitions categories with the type
of publications user services groups are producing,
this year's categories are the following:
Category
1: Web-based Services
1a: Computing Services
1b: Student employee web sites
