Entering these contests can be a great summer project for a child. It is one of the reasons why the contests have been made available early this year.

iTribute Multimedia Contest

This is the inaugural year for this contest. These days the children are so computer savvy. The idea of the contest is to tap into the children's interest in the computers.
