CLTA Splash Page Contest

CLTA announces its annual Splash Page Contest. Students compete to create a splash page for CLTA's site. You can see last year's winning entry at http://www.clta.net/. This year's winning entry will be the new splash page for CLTA's Web site. The splash page is the first page that appears when you go to the CLTA site. It introduces the CLTA site with color and animation.
