Spark Design Awards Student Deadline April 15
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 31, 2014 -- FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Spark has announced that the first, "early bird" deadline for student work will be April 15, 2014. Designs created as part of 2013/2014 course work or graduation portfolios are eligible for entry. "We are excited that a new round of work is coming into the Spark Awards," said Spark Founder Peter Kuchnicki. "The quality of the entries never fails to astound the judges and myself. The Spring Semester entries are our first chance to take the pulse of a vibrant new generation of designers."
RECORD-SETTING YEAR
In the 2013 competition, Spark Concept & Student entries grew by 27% over the previous year. Spark management expects continuing growth in the 8th Annual Spark Awards, according to marketing officials. "Awareness of the Spark program and our mission of encouraging design for betterment has grown at a rapid pace," reported Kuchnicki. "We are currently engaging with nearly 300 colleges and universities, from Harvard Design to the Hong Kong Polytechnic."
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
In order to better promote the entrants and winners of the student competitions, Spark is creating a new interactive website portal. According to the Spark digital component management team, "This portal will organize our participants work into a rich virtual resource—illustrating the designs in various media—text, video and photography. Our goal is to create an experience around these designs that enhances the work and facilitates access to it." Spark will be rolling this platform out during the next few months. It plans to provide all entrants with their own page within the portal for a minimum of 12 months.
