Announcing our 2016 Student Design Competition Winners!

Announcing our 2016 Student Design Competition Winners! After a fun day of judging this past Friday, we've got our top winners in our 2016 Student Design Competition! We'll be announcing them all week long and updating the list here each day.

This year's competition was our 18th annual student competition and in addition to being featured here, the winning work will be published in Pub 51 -- our next annual -- and the top 3 winners will be honored along with all our professional winners at our Awards Gala in early May.

Our awesome panel of judges had a hard decision making their picks from all the great work submitted, but after multiple rounds of judging, they selected first, second and third-place winners as well as 3 runners-up. Click their names below to see their winning work.

Congrats to all our winners and to all the wonderful entries we received!
