WHO MAY ENTER
The BoNE Show is open to all New England designers, including residents and design offices in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. You don't have to be an AIGA member to enter.
WHAT TO ENTER
Enter any design work produced or printed between March 2005 and February 2007. Admissible entries include, but are not limited to, print, advertising, interactive, experience, environment, typefaces, and product work. See the entry categories below for additional examples and details.
Please submit actual printed samples of your work. Do NOT send proofs or computer prints unless you are submitting a logo, typeface design, website, or student work.
If your entry is not available or its size is unmanageable – that is, if you are submitting work such as signage, outdoor advertising, or dimensional design – you may submit an unmounted, 8" x 10" photo in lieu of the actual piece.
Do NOT submit transparencies or slides.
Do NOT submit mounted work, with the exception of student work.
Note that no entries, with the exception of student work*, will be returned.
Payment must accompany the entry form, which must by completed legibly and in its entirety.
The BoNE Show committee and judges reserve the right to disqualify, without notice or refund of fees, any entry that does not meet the above criteria.
