The Youth Portal Project: Web Design Contest

[wolfie]

Calling all the young people of Singapore. Here is your chance to design and name an Internet portal for youth in Singapore, and win some prizes. The winning design will be decided through an online poll, and the portal will be launched later this year.

Tentatively called the Youth Portal, it will be a resource and virtual space for young Singaporeans who want to participate in the community and make a difference to the lives of those around them. It will be a one-stop online meeting place for youth to exchange views, put ideas into action, and start community projects.

The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) is inviting youth* to design and name the portal. We are looking for an exciting and user-friendly website design and the most memorable name for the portal. A $2,000 cash prize awaits the winning entry, and the runner-up stands to win $1,000. Apple iPods will also be awarded to the 3rd, 4th and 5th placed entries.

Entries should be submitted to contest@youth.sg. The closing date for submission of entries is on 12 June 2005.

Even if you are not into web design, you can still have a say in how the Youth Portal should look like, by participating in an online poll to choose the winner of the design and naming contest from 16 to 23 June 2005. Participants in the poll stand a chance of winning 1 of 3 iPod Minis if they pick the winning entry. The poll is open to all Singapore youth, so register now to participate!

* Contest participants must be aged between 15-35, & be Singaporeans or Permanent Residents
