The Office of Educational Technology is excited to invite you to attend the Philadelphia Media and Design Competition.

The Regional Philadelphia Media and Design Student Competition is an exposition of student work (grades 3-12) from across the city of Philadelphia and is open to students in Philadelphia schools. Participants will demonstrate their technology and design skills by utilizing digital tools, media, and other technologies. This event will be held in person at 440 North Broad Street and will bring together students and teachers as they share ideas and have the opportunity to showcase their work.
Winning projects in grades 6 -12, our middle and high school divisions will represent Philadelphia as they compete against 1st place projects from IUs across the state at the PA Media and Design Competition held at Dickinson College in May.
Registration deadline is Thursday, February 26, 2026
