Well, the instructions for our final project of the semester are in! The assignment is to enter the "Information Security Awareness Contest". The contest is conducted by Educause.
According to their website, Educause is a nonprofit association whose mission is to advance higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology.
"The EDUCAUSE & Internet2 Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC) is conducting its fourth contest in search of posters and short information security awareness videos developed by college students, for college students. The contest is sponsored by CyberWatch and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA). Winners will receive cash prizes. The posters and videos will be featured on the EDUCAUSE website and may be used in campus security awareness campaigns. Winners will be notified in late April 2011."
My partner and I will be making a poster that will hopefully help educate people on the dangers of malware and how to avoid it. More details about the contest can be found here.
One of the sponsors of the contest is .CyberWATCH
