Welcome to our Student Design Contests

We are excited to offer four different categories options where students can tap into their design skills. From T-shirt to Poster, Box to Sticker… we have many options to take your message from the screen to live on the scene!
 
You are invited to bring your creativity and talent, entering our contests with your fab designs that resonate with you the most. Whether you have multiple great designs for tshirts or four different designs for all four  categories – bring your love for all things printed to your submissions. Open to all students enrolled in secondary schools (high school), post-secondary colleges and universities, and trade or apprenticeship programs.
 

Each contest has its own theme so pay attention, class!

 

The individual contest pages dig into the details on file prep and size, access to design assets, content rules and submission requirements, as well as any die lines you might need. There are previous year winners on each page to give you inspiration. Each contest has different specific requirements, so be sure to carefully read each category rules and deliverables before starting your design!
