Open Day iPad Competition

The IT Sligo 2011 Open Day took place on 24 November.

The Information Systems Department ran a competition  / draw for an Apple iPad 2. Approximately 150 students entered the competition.

Each student filled out an application form and answered six questions. The idea was that the students would have to speak to people at the stands to get the answers. The objective of the competition was to
  • Capture students interest
  • capture students details
  • Get them to talk to us!
The winner will be announced on the IT Sligo Facebook page week starting 12 December. The prize will be presented at the winner's school by Keith McManus. All the students who entered the competition will be contacted by the college. The Career Guidance teachers will also be contacted.

If the competition - or similar - is to be run again
- more than one prize (lesser ones will do)
- ask for block capitals on form
- wider range of questions - could link with other departments?
