The PUB 48 "Bespoke" Judges

48 01.29.13 posted by The Editors

All the entries are in and the judging for this year's design competition is almost upon us! We are frantically downloading hundreds of apps and organizing thousands of tear sheets as we speak to make sure that this weekend's PUB 48 judging is the best one yet.

Once again SPD is honored to have an incredible team of over 40 industry leaders including the best and brightest creative directors, art directors, illustrators, photographers and editors from across our industry. It is their discerning eye that will decide the winners of the world's most prestigious editorial design competition...and it is the efforts of our army of indefatigable volunteers who will ensure that three long days of judging run smoothly. We are extremely grateful to them all. You'll find the full list of judges after the jump! Check back in on spd.org, our facebook page and on twitter over the weekend for updates and (hopefully) embarrassing photos of some pretty exhausted design luminaries!

PUB 48 Standard Rate gets an extension

48 01.11.13 posted by The Editors

Good news for those of you who weren't quite able to squeeze in under the standard rate deadline for competition entries today. We've managed to adjust our online entry system to delay the late fee until Tuesday Jan, 15th. It looks like an amazing year's worth of entries. Huge amounts of incredible work flooded in this afternoon in (as you may know if you were able to get through to the staff at HQ...our phone-lines were as jammed as the mail box!). This volume may have slowed things down a bit so to accommodate your efforts the least we can do is give you an extra few day. Hope this helps, keep 'em coming. (note: the late fee deadline remains Jan 25th)

Download you entry form here ..disregard the old standard rate deadline.

PUB 48 is going to be a ground breaker, thanks for all your hard work!
