Just got this by email:
There are just two weeks till the 2008 Adobe Design Achievement Awards
submission period closes! This is a great opportunity for your
students to show off their creativity in a wide range of media. If
they have used Adobe tools 50% or more in their course work (including
Creative Suite, Flash, Flex and AIR), they can enter their projects
online till 5:00 pm. May 2, 2008. http://www.adaaentry.com
Waiting till the last minute can be painful
But encourage them not to wait till the very last minute when the
submission site is receiving thousands of entries.
Many category options
They can enter work in up to 3 different categories of 12 possible
choices: Browser-Based Design, Non-Browser-Based Design, Designer/
Developer Collaboration, Mobile Design, Installation Design,

Prizes that can launch a career
Semifinalists will be selected and announced, along with the names of
their schools in May, so your program may receive favorable publicity
due to your students’ talents. Finalists will receive cash and
software prizes and a trip to New York city this summer for a festive
awards event, studio tours, and unique networking opportunities.
Make sure your students don’t miss out on this opportunity.

Here are a few key sizes from this document for anyone who doesnt want to look through the whole thing. There is alot more in there, so take a look.
Pixelart Sweatshop
This is crazy, some hong-kong site have launched a pixelarted map of the city with a Google Maps like interface. I wonder if they outsourced it to China where some 12 year olds have been pushing pixels on this piece for 18 hours a day…
