National Infocomm Club Awards (NICA) with the theme CYBER SECURITY AND WELLNESS

Hi people,

Some of you may be creating games for ICT Day with the theme 'Respect'.

IDA has a competition called 'National Infocomm Club Awawrds (NICA)' with the theme CYBER SECURITY AND WELLNESS. 

I thought the 2 themes are linked in some way.

My suggestion is : Whatever you create for ICT Day, you can submit for NICA. The advantage to submit an entry for NICA is that  in your CCA record, you will have extra point for 'Participating in Inter-school Competition'. So, can you please start your engine and work towards it ?

Outcomes to submit for NICA : flash games / mobile apps / interactive quizzes, create awareness through microsite such as blogs.

Deadline for NICA is 31 August 2011.
