Contest categories:

• DFC – FMCG (consumer goods)
• DFR – Retail (shops, boutiques, restaurants etc)
• DFS – Services
• DFI – Industry (industrial companies)
• DFT – Trade (b2b)
• DFN – non-profit organizations and event

Jury of the contest:

• Bill Gardner | USA

A list of the jury is not final and will be updated throughout the period of the online competition.

Each member can submit an unlimited number of works. Only works made for clients within the period from 2011 till now are accepted. Each work is presented separately via the online form.

Deadline for submitting works: July 15, 2012.
