Ah, another year, another webchallenge competition.
This year, like every other year, I entered the Schools TVNZ Netguide Webchallenge (2007) with a group of friends (we entered in various teams/individuals)
As a webdesigner myself, I've entered in the past webchallenges and have won a few top prizes. However, from past experience this years wasn't the best year.
I have proof of valid unfair judging as one of the top 3 websites for one of the categories was awarded prizes even though they copied directly from other sites.
If you can spare the time, please help spread the word to your fellow webdesigners so they can know what's REALLY going on. As I said, these are my thoughts, anyone can come and argue with my otherwise.

PS: Note: It is a personal blog, however the facts inside are real.
(Feel free to read the comments and post one if you disagree/agree, every bit counts!)
Note: As of now, TVNZ/Netguide have yet to reply to the email that was attached in that article/entry on my website. Maybe they are busy? Maybe they are not.
I hope if you have some free time please read my blog and share it with fellow webdesigners. We are a bunch of students who think that we should have deserved better. Well, at least not get beaten by some third-rate website who didn't bother to enter any of their own information.
Remember we are students, being students (secondary) we are already pressured against study and extra-curricular activities like these. Those who are important or famous please help us get our message across to the public.
Thank you for your time.
