ENTER JURIED COMPETITIONS
Enter design competitions, juried exhibitions, or other art/communications/design-related exhibitions. This is worth the most extra credit as long as the competitions are viable and résumé-worthy.
STEP 1: You must e-mail me (narnell@astate.edu) at least a paragraph explaining why you believe this competition is worthwhile and applicable to your line of study in graphic design. Include links to the site or copy/paste the information in the e-mail.
STEP 2: Copy your proof of entry. Print this out and give me the hard copy. If you have already entered a competition this year (NEA Addy’s), then you are done after you provide the afore mentioned!
DUE by last day of scheduled class before final. But I highly suggest you do it ASAP!
COMPETITIONS: You can easily browse the Internet to find graphic design contests, but here are a few to get you started. I am unsure about timing on these shows, so see what you can find!:
OR you can go the more traditional route by entering a juried art exhibition. Graphic design does have a place here, but it is somewhat harder to figure out how. A couple of places for this are artdeadline.com and callsforartists.com.
Ask Prof. Nikki if you have questions. DUE by last day of scheduled class before final.

- Communication Arts, Print, and Archive are very $ high-end $. The great thing is that they have Student competitions with cheaper entries, fewer stipulations (concept work is usually allowed!), and slightly less expensive.
- Many of the above mentioned sponsor several design contests every year including the Interactive Design Awards, Poster Design Awards, and Logo Design Awards.
- AIGA 365: Considered by some to be the Olympics of graphic design competitions
- Addys: From AAF (American Advertising Federation or "Ad Fed") > AAF-NEA (Northeast Arkansas) Addys 2019
- You can enter a competition. Perhaps for logos or poster design, etc. These can be found online.
