The 2017 AIANJ Design Competition
The 2017 AIANJ Design Competition will be run electronically through a system called CadmiumCD. The electronic format will allow members to also participate the 2017 QUAD State Design Competition. Instead of preparing a board, participants will upload photographs, drawings and copy into the system. There have been minor changes to the submission categories this year for ease in participating in the QUAD competition. As in years past, the three-member jury will meet to determine winners, reviewing projects via computer screen. The fee to participate remains at $150 for the first design submission and $100 for each additional submission. Participants will have the opportunity to also participate in the QUAD State Conference for a fee of $25.
