How the Student Showdown Series Works

The Student Showdown celebrates and rewards excellence in student work from the world’s next generation of creative talent. This competition provides more exposure for student work and ensures the best talent gets noticed.

Periodically, we will host a new competition based on creative field or concept. For example, creative fields could be photography, graphic design or illustration; concepts may include use of color, subject matter, or utility for social good. All submissions will be reviewed by world-renowned creative professionals in the chosen topic, who will judge the competition. Existing work is welcome and encouraged. All entrants must be currently enrolled in school or graduated within the last 3 months.

Keep in mind, once a project is submitted to a competition, it may not be edited until the competition has ended and winners are announced.
