Do you know someone who’s looking for a place to show off their artistic talent and creativity? Well we’ve got just the opportunity for them! As part of our National Cyber Security Awareness Month activities, MOREnet Security is sponsoring a poster contest where aspiring artists can help promote cyber security awareness.

Kids 18 and under with an artistic bent (or without — we’re network security people, not art critics) are encouraged to use their imaginations and creative talents to design and submit a poster with an Internet Safety theme.

Posters should be no larger than 8.5 by 11 inches and may be hand-drawn or computer generated. (Copyrighted material will not be accepted.) Digitally created posters should be sent to security@more.net. (Note: If the poster is hand-drawn, you may take a digital photograph of it and send the file to security@more.net.) If a digital file isn't available, please send the original artwork to MOREnet Security, 3212 LeMone Industrial Blvd., Columbia, MO 65201. The deadline for entries is Friday, Oct. 5, 2007. Note: Submissions will not be returned.

A panel of experts (we’re staying mum on what they’re experts in) will judge the entries and select five finalists. The finalist submissions will be posted online Friday, Oct. 12 at sam.more.net/poster. Viewers will have the opportunity to cast a vote for their favorite poster until 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 19, 2007.

The poster contest winner will be announced during Internet Safety Night on Oct. 23, 2007. The winning artist will receive an MP3 player, and the winning poster will be showcased on our security awareness page, displayed at Internet Safety Night and used to create Security Awareness promotional materials next year. The organization (school or library) affiliated with the winning artist will also receive one free registration to the 2007 Security Symposium.
