Create your wings and fly: Adobe Design Achievement Awards

Well it’s that time of year again and we’re on the hunt for the next generation of creative talent through our Adobe Design Achievement Awards (ADAA).

 For those who haven’t heard of the ADAA, it’s a competition we run every year to celebrate and recognise the incredible and innovative work students produce using Adobe software. It’s completely free to enter and open to students, faculty and staff from higher education institutions around the world.

 There are 13 categories ranging from Games Design and Development, to Application Development and Mobile Design and entries are judged by a fabulous panel of international design experts including Anthony Dunne, who is Head of the Design at Royal College of Art.

 Since this competition began in 2001, nearly 25,000 students across 73 countries have been involved. If you’re curious, you can check out some of the previous year’s submissions for yourself by clicking visiting the ADAA gallery.

 ‘But what’s in it for me’ I hear your cry. Well, in addition to being recognised as a creative genius, in October finalists will be invited to attend the ADAA awards ceremony in none other than LA!  If that wasn’t enough, there are also cash prizes up for grabs!

 So what are you waiting for… visit the ADAA website and get submitting! The deadline for entries is April 27, so plenty of time to get those creative juices flowing. Good luck!
