"In choosing the winner in this category, the judges agreed that there is no better advertisment for an educational establishment than that its students produce great work, and that’s exactly what the 2010 Little Chip winner did as a key part of one of the judges’ overall favourite entries this year."
'Nosey Parker' is the only car park location application for the iPhone covering the UK. It gives the user the nearest and safest locations, cheapest prices and further details of over 13,400 car parks – that is 1,8 million car parking spaces – across the country. With an estimated 16,000 car parks in the UK, 'Nosey Parker' gives the user access to the largest and most up-to-date database on the iPhone. Reached no.23 in the Apple Apps Store on 2/3/2010. Project produced on work placement at Stardotstar, Manchester
The judges set a minimum standard for shortlisting any Big Chip category and felt only one of the student entries met this standard. That does not mean however that they will make this entry a winner.
Entries must be a digital artefact - such as a website, mobile application or animation - that could be used to promote some aspect of the entrant educational institution. Submissions should demonstrate creativity in the design of the artefact or in the way it is used to promote the institution, or both.
One entry is allowed from each educational institution. This can be the work of a single student chosen from individual entries by different students, or it can be a collaborative work involving a number of students.
The Little Chip Student Award is new. The last student award in Big Chip was the MANCAT Promising Student Award in 2008. The brief was simple: 'Make an On-line portfolio of your work'.
The judges thought Laura’s portfolio stood out through its character and attention to detail. They also liked the way she integrated work across several media, and they were impressed by the clarity of the navigation.
The winning student will be offered a one month placement at the BBC
