Students of the Mohawk College Advertising and Communications Management program will soon see their award-winning work in the pages of notable industry magazine, Applied Arts.
The annual awards give talented students an advantage in the competitive advertising field by featuring their work in a well-regarded industry magazine.
Applied Arts describes the contest as a "fast-track to landing your first job." Winning an Applied Arts Award is an excellent resume boost for these exceptionally talented students.
The contest is open to current secondary, post-secondary, and graduate students studying graphic design, creative advertising, photography, illustration, digital, motion or gaming programs from the US, Canada and Europe. Any work created at any time during a student's academic creative program is eligible.
"The industry exposure is fantastic," says Professor Rafael Ferreira.
And what it means to the students to win an award of this calibre can be summed up by the excitement of one of the winners. "I screamed so loud in the car when I got the email that I scared my mom," says Kambria Johnson.
