Call for projects organizer
Founded in 1985, the HOW brand began its life as a print magazine. Today, the brand still includes an award-winning design magazine, but has grown to encompass a host of products and events including several design competitions, HOW U’s online design courses, design books (available at MyDesignShop.com) and more. Whether you work for a design firm, for an in-house creative department or for yourself, it’s our mission to serve the business, creativity and technology needs of graphic designers.
Description
HOW International Design Awards recognizes excellence on a global scale—and every year, hundreds of winners get international exposure in the award-winning HOW magazine. Canada, Mexico, Israel, Italy, Germany, Australia, Brazil, the U.K., the U.S. … No matter where in the world you reside, entries are judged by project type rather than industry or region. That means posters are up against posters, packaging against packaging, identity design against—you get the point. And design students are invited to earn some bragging rights via taking home a win in the students-only category. So be a part of the celebration of international design and enter your best work today. We hope to see you among this year’s winners.
