Submissions may include student writing, art work, videos, web pages, science projects, experiential learning, community projects, technology innovations, and other demonstrations of student intellectual and artistic achievements. deadline for submissions: April 18, 2007. Submission policies: students may submit work already submitted elsewhere, but the project must have a unique new component. Earlier submissions will receive more attention, and, given space and limited technology considerations, will have higher priority for inclusion. Clarification of technology, space and other needs is critical to ensure effective presentation of projects.
