Eleven teams enter 2004 1/4-Scale Web Site Design Contest.(Inside ASAE)(Brief Article)

The forth annual ASAE 1/4 Scale Web Site Design Contest once again gave teams entered in the 2004 competition a creative way to showcase their talents on the Internet as well as on the track.

Eleven universities from the United States and Canada entered the contest and took advantage of the opportunity to promote their team, the competition, and ASAE. The Cyclone Power Pullers from the University of Iowa took top honors with their innovative Web site design. Rounding out the top three winners were the University of Wisconsin--Madison in second place with Oklahoma State University taking third.

Participants were given a set of basic guidelines to follow and the rest was up to them. As in years past, the competition was tough. The winning teams were awarded cash prizes and certificates.

This year's contest was judged by Bob Gustafson, ASAE President; Wendy Rademacher, Senior Marketing Representative, Utility Tractors at John Deere Waterloo Works; and Chuck Knebl, ASAE Webmaster.
