Even at this moment of economic distress, all indicators are flashing positive for the long-term health of professional graphic design and, in particular, for the accelerated growth of web design.
For four decades, the editors of Graphic Design USA have sponsored national competitions that focus on areas of special opportunity for the creativity community. The goal: to highlight emerging areas of expansion, to recognize great work by often underappreciated creative professionals, and, most importantly, to trumpet the value of design to business and society.
Our newest annual competition — the American Web Design Awards — is firmly in this tradition. It celebrates the power of a well-designed site to attract audiences, communicate information, generate engagement and response, and market products and services. The emphasis, in light of our expertise, is on visual design and aesthetics.
Every winner will automatically be published online in the American Web Design Awards Web Edition, with images and full credits on our popular website, hosted on our popular 100,000 visitor-a-month website, for the entire calendar year 2010. Winners will also be listed with links to their winning work in a special article in Graphic Design USA magazine and in a special enewsletter sent to the entire creative community. Other support will include press materials to support your own publicity efforts and an Winners icon to place on your own site.
The deadline is April 30th.
