Call for entries: Digital Hub’s Best in Show competition 2011

Final year digital media students get ready, the Digital Hub’s Best, @TheDigitalHub, in Show competition is coming around again this April.

The prestigious five year old competition will be inviting entries from students studying a creative media subject who are currently working on their final year projects. There are three categories,

• Best Interior Design
• Best Animation
• Best Film / Video

The grand prize is a work placement in a company in their area of interest.

In its short, five year history, the prize has already gained a reputation for finding great Irish talent. 2010’s grand prize winner, Diarmaid Keane, was placed with Red Diamond Media, with his winning final year project, an film/video documentary called “Pashli – Make A Difference.” Diarmaid is now a full-time employee of Red Diamond Media. Diarmaid, and his final year team of Shane Brennan, Shane Doyle and Aaron Chalke studied Multimedia in Dublin City University.
