The Internet and the World Wide Web are the most transformative inventions of our time, and this competition features the creation of high-quality, well-designed and original Web sites, while seeking to identify and encourage future talent in this area. We invite you to participate in our fourth annual New Jersey Web Design Competition (High School Section). Any high school may field one or more teams of 3-4 students. The competition will challenge the participants to create or improve Web sites according to design specifications. It is an opportunity to compete with the best and brightest of your high school peers, to receive guidance from professionals, and to win cash awards.

The Design Competition is sponsored by the Information Systems Department at NJIT’s College of Computing Sciences, and will be held at NJIT’s University Heights Campus in Newark.
