The LA&PS Digital Composition Prize

The LA&PS Digital Composition Prizes are open to digital submissions of all sorts produced by students in first to fourth-year LA&PS courses. Successful entrants will make creative use of this medium’s capabilities, including graphics, hypertext, video, audio, programming languages (Flash, Java etc.), and platform capabilities, as applicable. Multimodal entries are encouraged.* Submissions must be web-aware (intended for a public audience on the World Wide Web) and prizes will be awarded based on how well the project's form, central idea, and function combine to achieve the assignment's goals. Once each year, a winner and a runner-up will be chosen for each year level (1000, 2000, 3000, 4000). Winners/Runners-up will receive a cash award, an official transcript note, and the opportunity to have their digital composition hosted permanently on a York-hosted website. A static URL of their faculty-reviewed submission will remain easily accessible to those considering applications for graduate and professional studies. *Primarily text-based submissions should be entered in the LA&PS Writing Prize Competition. This includes assignments that contain hypertext, but are not available on the World Wide Web. Also ineligible for this competition are stand-alone infographics and posters.
