DP3/ Competition/ YCN, D&AD, ISTD & Others

Competition Briefs


May cover any of these areas:


- Publishing and editorial
- Information and wayfinding
- Branding and identity
- Product and packaging
- Retail and promotion

About

I want to enter a few live competition briefs, as they can lead to great opportunities and look really good on your CV if you are to win. Earlier on in the year, I won a YCN award, so definitely have high hopes for entering more competitions. I don't want to enter loads and rush them though, I would rather choose a select few and spend a decent amount of time creating an outcome so that hopefully I would actually have a chance of winning.


As the competition briefs are not yet available, I can't really specify what I will do for the briefs.



Possible competitions to enter:
