A quick Re-cap on
yMEdia Challenge:
How it Works... What’s the Process...

STEP 1. Tertiary students form teams (2-4) and register their interest online
Step 2. Community groups register their interest online
Step 3. Community groups and Student teams make contact through the
online portal and tertiary students select the project they would like to
work on
Step 4. yMedia appoints a supporting agency mentor
Step 5. Working in collaboration with the community group, and with
guidance from their agency mentor, the student teams design their
own digital project within the time-frame allocated (8 week period)
Step 6. Students document the development of their work and the process
they follow to get to their end result

Step 7. All work and supporting documentation is submitted by the due date
(10 August 2009) and is reviewed by a panel of judges made up of top
industry professionals
Step 8. An awards ceremony is held where teams (community groups, students,
business supporters and the agencies/mentors) are recognised for their
efforts and the winning groups are awarded cash prizes!! Whoop
Whoop!
Step 9. Everyone ends the challenge with an increased awareness of
information communication technology (ICT), traction within the
industry is increased despite a difficult financial period, and
students get to include kick-ass project to put in their portfolios!
– In short, it’s a WIN-WIN for everyone!
