Did you make a public service announcement?

Did you develop or design a website?In a group or individually?

Have you created a digital memoir?

Did you study abroad? Have you created a podcast, or a travel vlog?

Have you created another digital project? If you’re not sure, end us an email to see if it applies!

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you just might have a Big Contest submission!
