Competition Tips: Part 6

We've got a few final Student Design Competition tips and reminders for you today...

Tip #8: For those of you sending in PDF files, make sure your name is on each spread in 4pt type somewhere on the page. Usually at the page edge or toward the gutter at the bottom is best, but make sure it is readable. That's the only way we'll know it's your entry once we've printed it out.

Tip #9: For those of you sending in actual printed pieces: make sure your entry is printed full-size and do NOT mount it to a board. Staple the two spreads together in the upper left-corner and tape a copy of your entry form to the back of the 2nd spread.

Tip #10: If you have to add a word or two to the provided headline to make it grammatical or sound better, that's okay. Just don't make up your own random headline. We want you all to use the same headline to make judging more fair and equal.

Tip #11: Make payment easier on yourself by using our online system here. Then all you have to do is send your entry and entry form.

Tip #12: Make sure you keep in mind shipping/delivery times. All entries must be in our office by 5pm on Monday, March 8. There will be no extensions and no exemptions.

Find out all the details, download the entry form, and read our Frequently-Asked-Questions and all the other competition tips here.

Good luck!
