Computer Security Awareness Poster & Video Contest 2009Help build awareness of computer security problems and what to do about them. Win cash, gain experience, and earn recognition with one short video or poster! The EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Computer and Network Security Task Force, in cooperation with the ResearchChannel, is conducting its third annual contest in search of posters and short computer security awareness videos developed by college students, for college students. The contest is sponsored by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and CyberWATCH. Winners will receive cash prizes. The posters and videos will be featured on the Security Task Force website and may be used in campus security awareness campaigns. Deadline for submission: April 30, 2009 Entry RequirementsPosters and videos must explain computer security problems and specific actions college and university students can take to safeguard their computers or personal information. Two categories of videos are being sought: videos of two minutes or less for use in training or instruction, and 30-second public service announcements (PSAs). Posters may be submitted separately or combined with a video for a “combined entry” (poster and video to be used in a security awareness campaign). Entry guidelines include:
