RIT/NTID announces its third annual Digital Arts, Film and Animation Competition for high school students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.

Students with hearing loss in grades 9-12 can compete for cash prizes and an all-expenses-paid trip for two to RIT's National Technical Institute for the Deaf for the awards ceremony and an exhibition of their work.

This national competition recognizes students' artistic expression with awards in seven categories: Film, Mixed Digital Media, Web Page Design, Graphic Media, 3-D Animation, Interactive Media and Photo Illustration. First place winners in each category will win $250 and transportation to Rochester, lodging and meals for two.

Students may submit up to two entries. Entry forms, contest rules and other details are available on the NTID Web site. The submission deadline is Dec. 15, 2008.
