The Aalto University Student Union (AYY) will organise a design contest for a calendar cover on 21 March–29 April 2011. AYY’s student calendar will be published and distributed to all student union members in the autumn of 2011, so the artwork of the designer will end up in the hands of thousands of Aalto University students. The design contest is open to all AYY members. In addition to fame and glory, the designer of the best cover will win a 100 euro Stockmann gift card.

Competition entries

The cover can be illustrated or a photo. The cover is in colour (4/4). The mandatory elements in the design include the text ”Calendar 2011–2012” and AYY’s logo. AYY’s logo  is available on our website.

Each designer can participate with the maximum of three (3) cover designs.

The cover size is 90 mm x 167 mm. In addition, 10 mm on the left side must be reserved for wire binding and 10 mm on the right side for the fold-over.

Designs must be submitted as PDF-files which are ready for print by email to the address viestinta@ayy.fi no later than 29 April 2011.

The design file must be named so that it includes the number of the design and the designer’s name (e.g. 1_AExample.pdf). The maximum file size is 10 Mb.
