Open worldwide to post-secondary and high school students in creative advertising, graphic design, interactive media, photography and illustration programs, the Applied Arts Student Awards is the largest and most respected show of its kind in North America. Applied Arts is a highly-regarded visual communications magazine founded in 1986 in Canada.

Entries can be submitted in six main categories:

• Integrated Advertising & Design Programs
• Creative Advertising
• Graphic Design
• Digital Motion & Gaming

Any work completed as a school requirement or work completed independently during the course of your studies is eligible for entry. And even if you graduated within the last year and the work that you are interested in submitting to the 2023 Student Awards was not submitted to last year's Student Awards, then you are still eligible to enter. Instructors can make group submission on behalf of their students.

Entry fees start from 20 USD.
