“the big contest” 2024: change the world - 1st place

In 2024, editor and webmaster Skyler Boudreau’s complete redesign of The Eye’s website won 1st place in the The BIG Contest’s Change the World Category. The judges described The Eye’s new website as “A beautifully executed and deep dive into types of censorship. The Eye continues to thrive as a top quality venue that not only tackles big subjects but does so through a laudable integration of media types.” The Eye’s exploration of censorship includes several discussion panels, the first of which can be viewed here, and the 2023 Special Censorship Edition.

“The Big Contest” 2021: Change the world - 1st place

The 2021 Special Indigenous Affairs Edition of The Eye won 1st place in the BIG Contest’s Change the World category. Comments from the judges include: “I find this project particularly compelling from both an academic and a public-facing standpoint. The Eye has (again) linked an extensive amount of research into a clean, readable interface, showing a tremendous amount of learning from the students thatcan also illuminate public understanding and therefore facilitate change. This does a great job of artfully weaving together a series of related sub-topics--Education, Advocacy, History, Politics, Social Justice--as relate to indigenous people. It comes across as the beginning of a much larger conversation we will all want to be a part of.”
