Call for Entries: "Justified" Design Competition
Submit your Entries Online by March 31.

The stories of great design are powerful tools. The most successful case studies provide inspiration to fellow designers and serve as a learning tool that can be shared with clients, media and the public. The new Justified: AIGA Design Competition invites entries about design projects in all media and all communication design disciplines.

Submit your entries online by March 31. No need to send physical objects! You'll simply be asked to upload images and answer a series of questions about the design project and its effectiveness. By entering "Justified," you'll be creating your very own case studies to help you communicate the power of great design -- share them with potential clients on your site and include it with your self-promotional materials. A jury will identify the best submissions for publication on AIGA.org to serve as an effective tool to explain design's value to clients, students, peers and the public in general.
