Front page Featured Section

I have a website where users register their projects for a certain event. I'd like to highlight certain projects on certain days on the front page.

What's the easiest way to add a "Featured Section" that accomplishes this? I know I can go through and make the post sticky but that seems tedious. Is it possible to use Views to do this or is there some other module available?

Modules for events: Views (for displaying in front page) + CCK (for featured and date fields) + calendar (for showing events as calendar (page or block))

You could use Views to do this, and add a CCK field (or taxonomy if you like) to flag a node as 'Featured'.

As long as the 'certain days' part of that is a manual process, this sounds like a perfect fit for the Nodequeue module, which integrates very nicely with views (and even automatically creates one for each separate queue). So, in your example, you might create a Nodequeue called 'Featured Section', that accepts nodes of a certain type, and then you can quickly add content to that. A view on the home page would pull in only nodes in that queue.
