Any work produced in the Pittsburgh region and put forward to an audience between January 1, 2017 and March 13, 2018 is eligible. No work previously submitted for AIGA Pittsburgh’s PGH365 may be entered again. Undergraduate and graduate student work is eligible for submission and will be judged in its own category. Student work does not have to be mass-produced to qualify or the competition.
Submit all bound items and single-sheet items as-is, in the grouped entries envelope. Selected entries will be displayed as entered. (Please refrain from mounting on foam core.)
We regret that entries cannot be returned. However, work may be picked up on the day that the show is dismantled. All work must be picked up at Spirit before 10PM, Wednesday April 11. Any work left behind will be donated to area schools.
Submission of an entry acknowledges the right of AIGA Pittsburgh to use it for exhibition and publication.
Each year, AIGA Pittsburgh welcomes a panel of 3 recognized jurors, representing a cross-section of design, to review and select entries for our annual design competition & exhibition; PGH365. This exhibition highlights the best work produced in the region and is truly a celebration of the designer's struggle in finding solutions that are effective, meaningful and beautiful.
Our judges will be joining us in Pittsburgh this week and they are as excited as we are. So read about them, follow them on social media, let them know what they should be sure to see while they're in town, ask them some questions…you know, do as Mister Rogers would do...be neighborly!
