Sanborn, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/30/2006 --Today StudicaSkills.com, the free online center for students and schools to compete for cash and prizes, announced the winners of the first cycle of competitions.

The first round of the Studica Skills Expose Yourself Competitions had over 1,000 students signing up to have their work, talent, and skills exposed. Over fifty schools participated in the Competitions and over 150,000 votes have been logged for the Competitions. The real-time voting ended on April 28th for these eleven competitions and a team of judges, composed of teachers, manufacturers, sponsors, people working in the field, and qualified Studica Skills representatives, examined the top entries of all closed competitions and chose three winners from each competition.
