Why You Should Enter

Design competitions are a great marketing tool. Design competitions allow students to share their work outside of the academic environment, and if they win, brag about it to prospective employers.

Start entering design competitions while you are in school. Not only will your wins impress interviewers, but you will create the career-building habit of entering competitions that will serve you well when you become a practicing designer.

The Additional Pay-Off

  • 1st & 2nd Place winners will be recognized with official certificates, and 1st Place winners will receive a cash prize of $200.
  • All winners will be recognized in the ASID Texas Chapter quarterly magazine, Design Texas, which is distributed to 1,500+ Designers and Industry Partners (your future employers, colleagues and peers).
  • All winners will be recognized on the ASID Texas Chapter website, as well as on the Student Symposium website throughout the 2020-2021 leadership year.
  • All winners will be recognized in an official ASID Texas Chapter email to all member categories: Practitioners, Educators, Industry Partners and Students.
  • All winners will be featured on the ASID Texas Chapter Instagram account @ASID_TX.

The Announcement of Winners

Since this year has brought us hard times with COVID-19, we will be holding the Design Competition Awards Ceremony virtually at the end of the Student Symposium week of virtual events.

2020 Design Competition Categories

You are encouraged to submit projects you have already completed for your academic program. Or, if you like, consider the notes your professor gave you on a completed project and take a little time to make the suggested improvements before submitting. In other words, there is no need to start a project from scratch unless you really want to.

You may enter as many projects you would like into as many categories you would like. The sky's the limit! All entries are FREE to any student who has registered and paid to attend the 2020 Student Symposium Virtual Conference.
