Ask Us Anything

Pre-2024 we had a "Poster Design" category. It has evolved into "Event Marketing" to include a wider array of design projects. If you have a poster that is not for an event, such as a movie (technically a product) or public service announcement, enter those in the Promotional and Advertising category.

Nope! The BIG One is open to all designers in Alaska – everyone from Barrow to Ketchikan. AIGA members do receive a $10 discount per entry though...

Any creative work that falls within one of our design categories and was produced or published by an individual, organization, company, or design firm based in Alaska within 9/1/2023-8/31/2024.

All payments will be made online through the Judgify system using PayPal's available payment options.
