AIGA Winterhouse Awards for Design Writing Criticism
Posted in: Uncategorized
Tired of reading about design? Well, maybe your should start writing about it. Yup, it’s that time again when Winterhouse calls upon all you design thinkers out there to put fingers to keyboard and come up with some hot, juicy, illuminating, provocatating (okay, that’s not a real word, so I’m OUT!) design discourse. Here are the deets (that’s not one either):
The AIGA Winterhouse Awards for Design Writing & Criticism seek to increase the understanding and appreciation of design, both within the profession and throughout American life. A program of AIGA, these annual awards have been founded by Jessica Helfand and William Drenttel of the Winterhouse Institute to recognize excellence in writing about design and encourage the development of young voices in design writing, commentary and criticism.
Ten grand for the top prize (that could work out to a decent dollars-per-word), plus a 1K student prize (that could treat your entire dorm to pizza); Last year’s winners are here.
This year’s judges are William Drenttel, Rick Poyner, Alice Rawsthorn, and Michael Sorkin, so you’re in good hands. Well, your words are.
