The results of each judging will then be combined to give a uniquely well qualified and objective design evaluation of each finalists’ design model. The two winners will be the participants with the highest scoring design model from professional and non-professional designer categories.
With 8 weeks before the May 12 deadline for initial submissions still remaining, prizes worth a total of over $300,000 and the opportunity to have your work seen by so many design directors, it’s not too late to start designing and enter Go Digital.
