SPOTS ILLUSTRATION COMPETITION

The static full-page illustration is no longer the standard of excellence. In both printed and digital publications, the most exciting illustration weaves its way into the fabric of the story, makes trends tangible, tells the deeper truth, communicates identities, and often wins the spotlight for itself.

SPOTS honors the illustrations that outshine all the others when the spotlight comes around.
This year you can enter your work as part of SPD's PUB 47 Competition, and all SPOTS entries will be judged by the same stellar group of judges that are curating the best in editorial illustration as part of the main competition.

Refer to this post for all details and information about previous winning SPOTS entries, the jury, and the winning work.



STUDENT DESIGN COMPETITION

The time has come to put your hard work in class to use in landing yourself a killer addition to your resume: a summer internship at a top NYC magazine, something that can change your career path forever. (Oh yeah, and the $2500 cash first prize, a copy of the Adobe Creative Suite, and your work published in the SPD Annual.) Entry forms for our 2012 Student Design Competition can be downloaded here as of October 15, 2011, so check back soon! 

First and final deadline: Monday, March 5, 2012.
Refer to this post for all FAQs, a history of past winners, and entry advice, and good luck!
