Promotion Design Awards
HOW’s longest-running design competition (launched in 1988), this is the only awards program to specifically recognize outstanding promotional work—whether it’s a self-promo to showcase a design firm’s capabilities, a project that touts a client’s goods or services, an announcement for a major life event or a student résumé or portfolio. HOW’s Promotion Design Awards celebrates design work that’s engaging, memorable and effective at moving the viewer toward action. The best promos will be featured in HOW’s October 2012 Self-Promotion Design Annual, and the winners will get a $100 discount to the 2013 HOW Design Conference and receive an award certificate. One Best of Show winner will get a free trip to the 2013 HOW Design Conference (round-trip airfare, hotel and conference registration) and an award to be presented at the conference. Plus, all winning entries will be showcased in an online gallery for up to one year and then available for viewing permanently in our online competition archive. Enter by March 1, 2012.
