The BJ Ball Student Design Contest is an opportunity for Graphic Design students to showcase their talents to the industry.
This is an exceptional opportunity for students to practice their design skills in real life – following a job from brief through to print.
The winning entries will feature in the BJ Ball 2023 calendar distributed to creatives and printers throughout New Zealand.
This year we are going trans Tasman, Aussie are on board too, meaning 3 of our kiwi designs will feature on their calendar (and 3 of theirs on ours).
This year’s theme is ‘Darts in Disguise’ – a bit like Where’s Wally. We are asking students to hide our BJ Ball dart in their design.
All winners, with a mention of their design school, will feature in the BJ Ball 2023 calendar. They will also receive a $100 prezzie card. Artist profiles will also be showcased on various social media channels, and in our GSM magazine, issue 20.
