THANKS for making the Pikesville High Multimedia Smackdown Competition a huge success!

The Institute of Art, Design and Interactive Media (ADiM) thanks all who attended the Pikesville High Multimedia Smackdown Competition at CCBC Catonsville Q-Bldg on Friday evening, November 14, 2008. This very successful, fun, exciting, and worthwhile event would not have been possible without the energetic and enthusiastic crowd of staff, students and parents who shared their time and talents with one another! Nine teams, composed of three Pikesville High students and a CCBC Computer Graphics and Visual Communication student, competed to finish three specific design challenges within a three-hour time limit. Prizes were awarded to the top three teams. Parents attending the event enjoyed a special presentation entitled, "The College Process: Multimedia Beyond High School."
