The SPD-U Show & Tell Competition is Open!

 

Enter by Friday, September 5th at 5:00PM ET


Forget rules and forget formulas; just show us your best editorial work by entering the SPD-U Show & Tell Competition. Formerly known as the SPD-U Spotlight Competition, winners have gone on to work at brands such as The New York Times Magazine, Glamour, Men’s Health, Vice, and Esquire.

If your work is chosen by our jury of top-notch editorial design professionals, you’ll receive an awards certificate and we’ll showcase your work in an exclusive online gallery. It’s a great way to get your name and work in front of the entire SPD audience, which includes art directors with the power to hire fresh, young talent like yourself.

This competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students; it is also open to recent Spring/Summer 2025 graduates. There are categories for design, photography, illustration, motion graphics/GIFs, and digital. Please refer to the Call for Entries for more details.
