Today I went on a quest to find some graphic design competitions to enter. So rather than write them all down, I’ve posted them for you to enjoy. Although a quick google and a bit of digging would get you to the same place, I hope you found these before you had to do that. The competitions are listed in order of approaching entry deadlines, and I intend to enter all of them 5 times. Feel free to add to the list.
