All finalists (not just the winners!) will be in with the chance of scoring a paid 3-month internship at P+S.
What can I submit?
No brief. No theme. Just your own crystal-clear vision.
Submit something you’ve already created. Or create something new that sparks joy (or any other emotion for that matter). But there are three provisos:
- It must fit into at least one of our three categories
- It must be commercially creative
- You must be able to justify your reasoning behind it
How will each category be judged?
- All submissions (whatever the category) will be assessed according to the following questions.
- Is it original? Is it creative?
- Does it demonstrate a firm grasp of design and/or development techniques?
- Is it effective in communicating its key idea or message?
- Is it user (or reader or watcher) friendly?
- Is it commercially viable? (Creativity is a wonderful thing! But in the real-world with real clients paying real money, and expecting a real result, would it work?)
