We’re back with another full month of events, awards, and competitions from around the world.
There’s some big events this month, including An Event Apart 2009 in Boston.
So check out the location and prices of what’s happening in your area!
And now for something completely different (and no, I don’t mean a man with three buttocks). With the new changes coming to Creattica, I’ve been busy rounding up a delicious list of all that is sweet in the world of events, competitions, and awards.
If I’ve missed one, let me know and I’ll try and snag it for June!
Wolda is the high-profile graphic design award scheme that rewards the best logos and trademarks designed throughout the world. Each year winning entries are rewarded with prestigious design objects created specially for Wolda: one “Best of the World” trophy for the overall winner, five “Best of Continent” trophies, individual “Best of Nation” certificates for the best entry from each country and “Award winner” certificates for all the other logos selected for publication.

World famous FutureBrand who do work for such giants as British Airways, Nissan and Tesco are hosting a student contest to design a brand for the United States of America for their CountryBrandIndex.
Frankly I have no idea what their CountryBrandIndex is, but I do know that contests like this are not only good for practicing your skills but also look fantastic on your resume when you graduate. The prizemoney ($1000) probably wouldn’t go astray either!
You can get details on entry (they close on Oct 10th) from the Contest Site
Today’s my 29th bday which means this is the last year I’ll going to be eligible to enter the Young Guns award. Of course since I’m not in advertising, so it’s not really for me. But if the monikers “under 30″, “advertising” and “awesomeness” all apply to you, then you’ve got just under a month to get in there.
There’s a pretty hard to use website up with details, entry forms and some extra randomness to flesh it out over at YGAward.com.
