About Webfest
What is Webfest?
Webfest is an annual contest for USC undergraduate students honoring excellence in digital media design. Students from all majors and schools across the USC campus are encouraged to submit entries - by entering, you can earn recognition (and prize money) for your websites and media projects, while also meeting other students interested in web and interactive development.
If you already have a website, mobile app, or media project, or if you are creating something that will be finished this spring...
