IADT Design Challenge

The International Academy of Design & Technology (IADT) just announced the IADT Design Challenge, a nationwide scholarship competition. Two winners and 10 runners-up each will earn scholarships to IADT. Submissions for the Challenge will be accepted from Nov. 10 through Dec. 10 via the Design Challenge tab on the college’s Facebook page.

IADT invites designers and aspiring designers to create and submit a banner ad representing one of the four following IADT programs: Internet Marketing, Information Technology, Retail Merchandise Management, or Web Design and Development. Following approval of their submissions, entrants’ designs will be open for voting by the public through the year’s end. Public voting on Facebook will determine the 24 finalists, so entrants are encouraged to share their entries with friends via the social network. Users can vote once each day and do not have to be students to vote. Winners will be selected from among the finalists by a panel of IADT judges.

Anyone who has graduated or expects to graduate from high school (or has earned a GED or expects to earn a GED) prior to July 1st, and is a legal resident of the United States is eligible to enter the competition, including both non-students and current IADT students (this opportunity is not available to residents of Puerto Rico, Texas, and where prohibited by law). Each entry must include the IADT logo, a headline and call to action, along with the entrant’s creativity and unique design. Two first-place winners will be selected to each receive $5,000 scholarships to IADT, while 10 runners-up will be chosen to each receive $1,000 scholarships to the college.
