U B the Judge

This design competition is unlike other competitions because entries appear in regional events throughout the country and designers in attendance judge the work of their peers.

To qualify, entries must be produced all, or in part, on Utopia between January 1 and December 31, 2004. Awards are presented to the winning Creative/Design firms and every regional event will have platinum and gold level awards in two different categories: commercial/public service and self-promotion. Each level receives its own unique award designed by Tiffany & Company and will be featured on the Utopia website, in press releases and in a nationally distributed showbook.
