MN hosts (Re)design Awards in lieu of MN Design Show in 2013 April 12, 2013
After careful review, the 2013 AIGA Minnesota Design Show has been postponed until winter 2014. The call for submissions will happen at the start of the new year, with the opening reception to be held in early spring.
Fear not, there is still an opportunity to bask in the glory of design greatness this year. In lieu of our annual show, AIGA Minnesota is thrilled to host the AIGA international (Re)design Awards Competition. We encourage our members to take advantage of this global contest occurring right here in Minnesota. The opportunity to submit work begins April 15, with the opening reception on October 10 to coincide with the national AIGA Head Heart Hand conference being held in Minneapolis this fall.
Event information for the 2013 (Re)design Awards can be found here.
