Junior Spider Internet Awards
January 27, 2014
Closing date for applications to internet awards for school students extended until 7 March 2014
The Eircom Junior Spiders will take place in the RDS in Dublin on 1 May 2014. The internet awards recognise the work of students and teachers in primary and secondary schools across the country.
Among this year’s categories, is a category for Irish language or bilingual websites, ‘Suíomh is Fearr’, sponsored by Foras na Gaeilge. Websites or blogs can be entered in this category and can be based on any content, but must use the Irish language in a creative and innovative way.
The awards are divided as follows: MEGA for primary schools; GIGA for years 1-3 of post-primary schools; and TERA for years 4-6 of post-primary school. Each classification is then subdivided into distinct categories based on content and type.
Last year’s Irish language winners were Coláiste Íosagáin, Dublin, in the TERA category for their site, ‘Níos Aclaí Anois’ and St. Colman’s College, Mayo in the GIGA category for their site, ‘Irish Exam Guide’
The competition will be open for applications from schools and students until 7 March 2014 and a shortlist will be announced on 28 March 2014. The award ceremony will take place on 1 May in Dublin’s RDS where each of the shortlisted candidates will have the opportunity to display their site.
Further information in relation to this competition is available at www.juniorspiders.ie and a poster which can be printed out and displayed in your school is available at the link below: School Poster
