Presented by AIGA DC, this competition honors 50 works from professional designers and agencies that embody the creative spirit.
The AIGA50 competition attracts entries from top agencies and in-house studios around the region. Past entrants include AARP, Booz Allen Hamilton, CHIEF, Design Army, Deloitte Digital, Duke & Duck, Grafik, Humans Who Play, Marriott International, NIH, National Gallery of Art, Polygraph, The Washington Post, Threespot, and Viget.
AIGA50 also honors students pursuing their design education at institutions across the DMV. We’ve received over 400 entries in a single year, and we expect that number to grow in 2023. Entries are evaluated by a panel of expert judges from around the country.
We're excited to announce that for the first time since 2018, AIGA50 will host an in-person gala in the late spring 2023 to celebrate honorees and exhibit their work.
This celebration of design excellence will pay tribute to our winners and be an opportunity for AIGA members to mingle with local creative leaders.
The competition is opening soon. Sign up below so you’ll be the first to know when submissions begin.
