Home | Awards | Rules | Entry Form
Who may
enter
All graphic design and web design students at Parkland College.
Number of
entries
Each student is eligible to enter an unlimited number of pieces. All work must have been completed during the past 12 months. By entering work in this exhibit, the entrant agrees that his/her works are submitted for jurying.
Type of entries accepted
All print, web and dynamic media projects (motion graphics, web animations, etc.) from the Graphic Design or Web Design program studio classes are eligible for entry. Most work done in the Fine Arts program are not eligible for this show.
Type of entries NOT accepted
Freelance work, work-for-hire projects or non-classroom work are not eligible.
Entry form
Entries must have a separate printed entry form taped to back of each entry (ad campaigns containing multiple pieces can be submitted as a single entry). All entries must be submitted using the online entry form.
Print entries
All print entries should be presented in a professional manner (prints with flaws will be disqualified). Whenever possible, entries should be mounted flush on foam-core board (available in C138). Multi-page documents (and series) should be submitted in a protective envelope. Entries should not be matted or framed. A web-ready image file must be uploaded at the time you fill out the entry form (see "Digital Exhibition" below).
Dynamic media entries
Dynamic media files (web
sites, banner ads, motion graphics, animation) must be submitted in a browser
compatible publishing format (HTML, GIF, SWF, MOV). Original authoring
files (Photoshop, Flash, After Effects) will not be accepted. Files
must be Internet-ready and published on a CD-ROM. In addition,
a color laser of a single representative page (including the browser
window) must be submitted mounted on
foam core (see print entries above). See
instructions for taking screenshots.
Digital exhibition
Because the entire Student
Exhibition will be archived online as a "web catalog," you must also submit
a web-ready JPEG or GIF file for each print entry (this is not required
for dynamic media entries). Your web-ready image must be no wider
than 800 pixels (there is no height limit, but the maximum
file size is 200K). Please name your file with your last name in it (i.e. "smith-billboard2.jpg"). See
instructions on rasterizing print pieces(or talk to your instructor).
Copyright infringement
Illustrations or photography must be original or based on copyright-free stock. Unpublished graphic design samples ("comps") may contain stock illustration or photography but such usage must be indicated on the entry form. Published graphic design pieces must have appropriate copyright clearances. Parkland College will not be liable for students' plagiarism. Work may be photographed by Parkland College and used for educational purposes.
Liability
Although every precaution will be taken, Parkland College and its staff will not be responsible for any loss of or damage to the works submitted, no matter how same may be caused. Entrants submit works subject to this condition. All accepted works must remain for the duration of the exhibit, as placed by the gallery staff.
Receiving
dates
Entries will be hand-delivered to the Art Gallery according to the published schedule. No work will be accepted after the deadline.
Return of

If you do not contact the Art Gallery by the date indicated, your entry will be discarded.
