Entry forms will be posted later this Spring so as you’re designing pieces for your agency think about what can be submitted for next year’s competition. Thank you to everyone who participated and we apologize to the few agencies whose entries were not displayed. Next year we may have to think about locking the entries down so they don’t walk away on their own…if anyone has seen the Web Site Design entries that were on display please let us know…they were reportedly heading in the direction of the Hyatt’s Big Bar!
