The Indiana Student Software Awards Competition was created to encourage
and reward the creativity and talents of Indiana software technology high
school and college students.

Students, or teams of students, who have developed a software project for
personal enrichment, as a course or research project, or as a result of
collaboration with an industrial partner may submit projects for ISSAC
2001.   A panel of judges will evaluate each project on the basis of its
creativity, technical merits and functionality.
