This contest is open to higher education students across the globe, primarily in countries where Adobe is based. It covers a multitude of disciplines including Animation, Digital Illustration, Digital Photography, Environmental Graphics and Packaging, Interactive Design, Live Action, Motion Graphics, Print Design Multi-Page, and Print Design Single Page. In other words, anything covered by Adobe's product line :-). It's a very broad ranging contest and offers an excellent range of prizes to successful applicants. It appears to be free to enter with very few other entry stipulations other than the requirement to provide proof of your student status. Get full details here.
very good of u to post this info Phil, hats off to ye :~) upon inspecting this one, i found that it takes full time students in the visual arts area, alas i am a part time student...sigh.
there is a non student Adobe contest titled Digital Canvas that will be available to enter later in the year - i'll keep an eye out for more details :-)
