Help us alert the students on your campus about their chance to win cash, gain experience, and earn recognition with a poster or one short video! The EDUCAUSE & Internet2 Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC), in cooperation with Chapman University, CyberWatch, and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), is conducting its fourth contest in search of short information security awareness videos and posters developed by and for college students. DETAILS ======= * We are seeking creative, topical, and effective posters and videos of two minutes or less that focus attention on information security issues and how best to handle them. * Two categories of videos are being sought: - 2 minutes or less, for use in training or instruction - 30 second public service announcements (PSAs) * Posters may be submitted separately. * Deadline for submissions is March 11, 2011. (While a year way, this would allow students to work on an entry during the summer or for a professor to include it in course plans for the fall or spring semester.) FOR THE WINNERS =============== * Cash prizes ($1,500, $1,000, and $500) will be awarded in each of the three categories for a total of nine cash prizes. Honorable mention prizes will also be awarded. (Special thanks to the co-sponsors, CyberWatch and NCSA). * An opportunity for students to gain experience by developing creative and effective short videos or posters. * Winning entries also receive national exposure: exhibited on the EDUCAUSE and contest-related websites, heavily promoted during National Cyber Security Awareness month in October, and may be used in campus security awareness campaigns. HOW YOU CAN HELP ================ * Promote the contest by forwarding this message to any relevant mail lists or announcing in organizational newsletters. * Download and forward the flyer, available from the contest website: - http://www.educause.edu/SecurityVideoContest2011 * Include a web banner ad on your institution's information security office page (also available from the contest website). * Use the other promotional materials on the website that describe how you can publicize the contest to both students and faculty.
