Miss Silliman Website Launched

On it's diamond (60th) anniversary, Miss Silliman finally has a website. During the 2006 Miss Silliman Press Conference, the Miss Silliman Organization has launched the site www.misssilliman.com to feature the country's oldest pageant, even older than Miss Universe.

I was tasked by the organization to design and develop the site and finally I was able to finish it just hours before the launching. While waiting for the domain name to be active, the temporary URL is http://www.sillimanians.com/misssilliman.

The site contains profiles of the 6 candidates and a students' choice voting system wherein enrolled Sillimanians may vote for their bets. To vote, you just have to enter your family name and ID number. Only one vote is allowed per student. The one with the most votes will be awarded Miss Popularity. After all, Miss Silliman in 1946 started as a popularity contest.

The site also has some articles regarding the history of the contest as well as a list of the past Miss Silliman winners with their photos.

Before you criticize the site though, may I just tell y0u that I am not an artistic person. Besides, I wasn't paid to do this. So, please, just don't complain.
