MOVING FORWARD: 2021 UCDA STUDENT POSTER DESIGN INITIATIVE

CALL FOR ENTRIES
One of the many potential desired outcomes of design can be to motivate or inspire. Student designers have the power to encourage viewers to move forward in their lives—toward big dreams and lifelong goals or by simply enjoying the beauty that surrounds us. 

This year, the Moving Forward student poster design contest helps promote positive thinking by enabling students to design an original poster for print or online use. We welcome entries as part of a class assignment or done independently by students outside of class.

Entries will be reviewed by a panel of design educators.

RECOGNITION:

• UCDA Event Registration—the top 3 winning poster designers along with their professors will receive free registrations to an upcoming virtual event.
• Designer Magazine Recognition—the winning poster will be featured in UCDA’s award-winning Designer magazine.
• Honorable Mention—up to ten honorable mentions may also be awarded and displayed in Designer magazine.
