This year the design assignment of applicants for our Degree Programme in Media was to design or produce the End of the World Party:

Riikka Uhmavaara: Worldwide digital gathering

"Imagine the following scenario:
It just might be the case, preferably not, that the world will be coming to its end on the 21st of December 2012. A giant asteroid is hurling towards Earth, and scientists say that it is going to hit us with a probability of 50 %.
What is the human race going to do on the eve of the possible catastrophe? Organize huge parties and all kinds of events, of course!
The last day is going to be a 24-hour nonstop fiesta.
You are the either the designer or the producer or the interaction designer in charge of planning one of the events in this magnificent world-wide enterprise. This time, the banks and other sponsors are not cheap on money. You have an unlimited budget."

Want to be admitted to Media? Report from Atlantis!

The design assignment of the 2013 pre-task is to make a visual or written or audio report from Atlantis:
"A group of scientists has found Atlantis! This is one of the biggest news stories of 2013. And where is it then? No-one knows for sure. All there is to know is that Atlantis exists in a parallel universe. Thus the already highly developed civilization has evolved for thousands of years into a totally different direction than the world that we live in.

There is an expedition to Atlantis. You, as a highly valued professional of your field, are selected to report on the culture of Atlantis. The world is waiting for your report."
