A competition to explore the future
20:20 Foresight is a competition designed to explore the future: What will online look like? Will traditional media still exist? How will it change our vision of New Zealand and the world? What new role will the Internet be playing in our lives? And what does hindsight tell us about our (in)ability to forecast what lies ahead – after all, could anyone have predicted what has happened over the last 21 years of the Internet?
Winning entries from two age groups (17-to-20 years and 21-to-25 years) will receive fantastic prizes courtesy of Down to the Wire creator, Heyday.
With great prizes
Each winner will receive:
- an Apple iPad
- a 20-day, $2000 paid internship at Heyday
- a personal website designed, developed and released to the world
The competition is open to anyone aged between 17 and 25 years-of-age who is either currently studying, planning to study, or who has completed a course in New Zealand in the last three years. Winners in the two age groups will enjoy a unique opportunity to gain paid work experience at digital agency Heyday.
Great ideas are key
The competition calls for entries driven by imagination and insight rather than digital knowledge or technical ability. Entrants don't need to be coders or geeks. “It's your ideas and vision that we'll be judging, not the physical qualities of your entry”
We want ideas from students of all subjects – media, philosophy, design, politics, economics, as well as those on digital and computing courses. Your ideas can be submitted in almost any form – images, film, audio, animation or even just words on paper. It's your ideas and vision that we'll be judging, not the physical qualities of your entry. But do what you can to make it compelling and exciting!
Win an Internship at Heyday
The internships will allow winners to see a digital agency in action and work on their own live digital project. We'll create your personal websites by taking you through our process of insight, ideas, design and delivery. We'll then launch your sites on the Web and you'll be able to show it to your friends on your new Apple iPad. We can't wait to start receiving entries and looking at your ideas.
Entries are now closed sorry.
