Each annual design competition covers one calendar year. The Call for Entries is published in print and online in November of the competition year. The judging takes place the following February.

Printed copies of the Call for Entries are mailed in November to previous entrants and to anyone who requested a copy. Or, download a PDF copy when it's posted on the Web site in early December. SND posts copies of the Call for entries in languages other than English, so check the site in December. You can also download full-page, editable copies of the Entry Form. Click here for an editable PDF of the Entry Form in English.

Or, download a standard PDF of the Entry form (English) (Spanish), (Swedish), (German); the Coupon Form (English) (Spanish), (Swedish), (German); and the Tally and Payment Form (English) (Spanish) (Swedish) (German).

Entrants submit unmounted tear sheets. Each entry requires a small entry fee, paid in U.S. funds, and an official entry form.

Entry deadlines for the current (30th) edition of the competition are as follows:

Entries from publications in the United States must be received at Syracuse (N.Y.) University no later than Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2009.

Entries from publications outside the United States must be received at Syracuse (N.Y.) University no later than Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2009.

The 30th edition judging will take place at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University from Feb. 6 through Feb. 18, 2009.

SND will notify winners by e-mail or U.S. mail beginning in early March 2009. Also, SND will announce winners on this Web site as soon as they are verified, in early to mid-March.

Don't forget to check out our Web coverage of the judging beginning Saturday, Feb. 7, 2009. Be the first to know what's happening in Syracuse!

IMPORTANT: Please print out all forms at 100 percent. Do not reduce or enlarge since legibility is important.
