Explain IA

Published by Davina | Filed under Post

The Information Architecture Institute is currently running a competition to Explain IA. There’s a $1000 prize involved too!

In this contest, you are invited to explain information architecture. What is it? Why is it important? What does it mean to you? Some folks may offer a definition in 140 characters or less, while others will use this opportunity to tell a story (using text, pictures, audio, and/or video) about their relationship to IA. Anyone can enter, but only IA Institute members can vote for the winners.

Entries are added to the Explain IA Flickr pool and I’m looking forward to seeing what people come up with. I’ll also be putting my thinking cap on to see if I can come up with something to submit.
