NSW YW Design Competition – NOW OPEN

Youth Week NSW is looking for aspiring young designers to help create the look for our website, posters and other promotional materials.

You may want to design a poster, or a website, or just throw some ideas down on paper. Let us know what you think being young is all about - be funky, be creative, and help us spread the word about Youth Week. You must submit your design electronically as a .jpeg or .pdf file, or in hardcopy (no bigger than A4). In your design, you may want to include:

• The NSW Youth Week website address www.youthweek.nsw.gov.au
• The 2010 Youth Week logo and the Arrive Alive website logo - these can be either hand drawn or download them by clicking here
• The words "NSW Youth Week is sponsored by the MAA"
• This year's theme: "Live it Now!"
• Youth Week's date: 10-18 April 2010.
