Competition was tough this year, with over 35 portfolio submissions to the 2016 AIGA Minnesota Portfolio 1-on-1®. Our judges had a lot of page flipping and reviewing to do, but ultimately chose the most-prepared books. We thank our generous scholarship providers for their support of Portfolio 1-on-1 attendees, and we congratulate this year’s winners.
