SPDStuComp2014-Logo.jpgIf you enter and win our Student Design Competition, the cash prizes may seem the most attractive. But in reality, it's the prize internships that are the most important award. Even if you don't place 1st, 2nd or 3rd, you still have a good shot at winning a magazine internship here in NYC and often, housing is included. So what are you waiting for? Start working on those entries now!

Need some more proof of just how great the internships are? Check out last year's 3rd place winner Darby Minter's experience as an intern at Sports Illustrated...

So you've got, what, another week, maybe two before you head back to classes and homework? No doubt Netflix and hanging out with friends are very entertaining, but when you get bored of even that, why not start working on your 2014 Student Design Competition entries! The March 3 deadline will be here before you know it, and you don't want to miss your chance at cash and software prizes along with super-cool magazine internships, right? 

Don't actually feel like being creative? Well, you can at least read through the rules and our handy-dandy tips, and check out past winners to get those ideas flowing.

Our 2014 Student Design Competition (get all the details here!) is officially open, and we're talking to some of last year's competition winners to give you a little inspiration and motivation to get started on your own entries. Of course the cash and Adobe Creative Cloud membership prizes are worthy enough, but did we mention you can also win an INTERNSHIP at a top NYC magazine???

It's probably the most valuable part of the prize. And you don't even have to win one of the top 3 spots to get it ... while it's only guaranteed to our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners, many of our runners-up also get the chance at an internship! 

Want proof of just how incredible an experience that can be? Well, we got a few of our recent winners to give you a little recap. Monday we talked to one of last year's runners-up, Grayce Holcomb, and today we're talking to another runner-up, Sarah Tan. Read on to hear about her internship experience at Money magazine...
