ActionScript.Awards prize giving ceremony: $20,000 up for grabs!

The ActionScript.Awards 01 ended with flash and splash at The Plaza, Republic Polytechnic on 18 May 2004 as prize winners came to receive their well-deserved prizes. Gracing the ceremony were industry sponsors from IDA, Sun Microsystems, Macromedia, IBM and Microsoft, as well as the judges who graciously helped to select the winning entries.

Three winning entries were selected from both the school as well as Open categories. The top winner walked away with $2000 and $3000 in cash respectively. In addition, 10 Merit Prize winners walked home with $200 each for submitting entries of high quality.

Commented Mr Ng Yew Wee, Director, Macromedia South Asia on the aims of this competition:

“Macromedia and Republic Polytechnic have joined hands in organizing this competition as we share the same vision of inspiring a new generation of students to excel in the digital world."

One of the judges, James Lee, a senior IT trainer with Bits, said, Generally, I find the entries to be of high standard. This is especially so for the "Growing Atoms" submission (winning entry for schools). It combines not only a person's proficiency in Actionscripting but also having an intimate knowledge of physics and maths as well. I am very impressed with the level of standard exhibited by the many submissions that I have seen."
