Now that the spring semester is in full swing, your creative brains are back on track and our March 3 Student Design Competition deadline is nearing, we'll be sharing some last-minute tips and notes to help make your entries the winning ones!
Today we're starting by taking a look back at all of last year's winners. We had so many amazing entries last year, we expanded our runners-up to the biggest group of winners ever.
