BBC and the CMD at BSU
Last night the Center for Media Design here at BSU announced that, together with the BBC, they are hosting an interactive television contest. Two lucky students will get to spend eight weeks in London this summer with all expenses paid. In return, the students must develop a pitch for an interactive media experience centered around the topic of “democracy.”
The BBC does some really amazing interactive television projects which draw viewers in to take part in on-screen quizzes, face-to-face events, and mobile marketing. Projects like “Citizens Required” engage audiences in highly participatory projects that are both entertaining and informative.
The students in the audience for the presentation were mostly film, journalism, and telecom. I can’t wait to see what great ideas come of the contest!
