Judging for AIGA Blue Ridge’s annual Flux Student Design Competition has been completed. Flux is a nationwide competition that recognizes outstanding design work produced by students in the categories of identity, publication, poster, packaging, and web/interactive. This year, 173 projects were selected by a jury of creative professionals including Ashleigh Axios, The White House, Washington DC; Antionette Carroll, Creative Reaction Lab, St. Louis; and Rich Hollant, Co:Lab, Hartford. Nearly 800 entries were submitted making the 2015 Flux Student Design Competition one of our largest and most competitive yet.
Looking for your name, or your student’s name? In each Category, entries are shown in First Name alphabetically.
Come celebrate our winners at our Flux 2015 Reception!
