To date, RGD Ontario has distributed more than $120,000 in cash awards to graphic design students in Ontario in recognition of their outstanding achievements and to encourage excellence in the field of graphic design. All winners (and sponsors) are profiled in Applied Arts Magazine. To view an archive of past award-winners and sponsors, go to students.rgdontario.com/awards.html

Student Members who are graduating no later than October 1, 2010, are eligible to enter. There is no entry fee. The entry deadline is Friday, May 7, 2010.

In 2010, RGD Ontario will be requiring only electronic submissions of the work this year. This is both to conserve resources and make it easier and cheaper for students to enter. It also makes the judging easier and allows the judging to involve more representation from each region.

If you would like more information about this and other student programs, contact Executive Director, Hilary Ashworth at hilary@rgdontario.com or call 1.888.274.3668 x 23. Full program details will be available for students in early 2010.
