The year has just started and there are lots of things happening in the design world. This looks like this year will be the year of the contests. There was the Veerle Poster Design Contest, there’s the Firefox 3 T-Shirt Contest, and the U-Printing International Poster Design Competition, which I will be one of the Judges, thanks Gino.

These contests are a really good way to promote your work and get some worldwide recognition. Besides that there are the prizes. The U-Printing International Poster Design, for example, have some great prizes like: an iPhone, $250 Printing Credit, and 300 iStockPhoto credits for the winner.

Power up your computer, grab an energy drink and get your creative juices flowing because the U-Printing International Poster Design Competition is here! Designers will go head to head to try and create the most awe-inspiring posters ever seen!
