Will You Be Our Next Winner?

Who will join the ranks of our elite SPD Student Design Competition winners? It could be you! 

We've had winners from all over the country and even outside the U.S., from small private art schools to large public universities. And a lot of them have gone on to successful careers in the magazine world thanks in part to the exposure the competition has given them ... and many of those weren't even first-place winners. So in addition to all the awesome prizes you could win (money! an internship! Adobe Creative Suite!), simply getting your work in front of our awesome panel of judges is a prize you get just for entering!

So get those entries in by this Monday, the 12th. And you could see YOUR winning entry amongst the winners above!
