Graphic Design

Graphic Design - There are two categories for this event: color or black & white. A contestant may enter both categories but may not enter the same design in both categories. The contestant should develop and design a project on the computer using the topic assigned by year. Contestants should refrain from using AI tools, programs, or templates to generate or modify their designs. If these are suspected of being used, judges will reserve the right to disqualify the entry.
