Two ASID Student Competitions

www.asid.org .

Greetings Students!

ASID has important announcements to make regarding two student competition opportunities - one new and one existing.

First, ASID is introducing a new, private online community space being added to the ASID Web site. The online community is similar to the popular Facebook Web site, except that access is restricted only to ASID members. Each member will have a personal profile page and a personal "home" page to keep track of friends and contacts, postings, news, events and activities within the community. Privacy settings allow you to control how much information you want to share with other members of the community. There is even a private e-mail account to send and reply to messages just within the community, thereby keeping your business or personal e-mail inbox free of additional messages.

The only thing this social networking community is missing is a great name. ASID wants you, the students, to name this community! To participate in this competition, simply think of a clever name for the ASID online community and e-mail your idea to mberens@asid.org by November 20, 2007. Once all the submissions are received, ASID will decide upon three finalists and then present these names to all student members in late-November to vote upon and select the winner! The student who provides the winning name will receive an exclusive, chic, unisex ASID black messenger bag, as well as prominent recognition on the site and in ASID ICON magazine. Just think, you could name the ASID online, networking community that 40,000 members take part in! This is too easy to pass up!


Second, as a reminder to those participating in the national ASID Student Design Competition, the deadline is Friday, January 4, 2008. This deadline is very firm this year as the entries will be judged the following week. Please be sure to have your competition entry arrive to ASID at the address below, no later than January 8, 2008 to be considered for this prestigious award.

Attn: Member Development ASID 608 Massachusetts Ave., NE Washington, DC 20002

We look forward to receiving your entries for both competitions!
