STEP Design 100 Readers Choice Poll Now Open


| Comments (0)

The STEP Design 100 competition and annual is highly regarded within the graphic design industry. Thousands of entries are received and judged by a panel of five designers, and the top 100 are featured in the over-sized March/April issue.

Now that STEP is part of the graphics.com network, however, we wanted to offer the larger graphics community an opportunity to participate in the selection process.

We actually came up with the idea for the STEP Design 100 Readers Choice Awards after we began the call for entries for the 2007 Design 100 annual, but we didn't want to wait another year to implement it. We had the technology in place at graphics.com, so we went for it. And despite some minor bumps, things launched smoothly.

Current Readers Choice entries include all the Design 100 winners as well as almost 200 runners up. Together these represent the top 10% of total submissions to the Design 100 competition as determined by the judges. The five entries receiving the most "yes" votes will be published in the Readers Choice Award category of the March/April 2007 STEP Design 100 annual.

A free graphics.com membership is required to vote.

Because this is the first Design 100 Readers Choice competition, we consider this a "beta" run. So please share with us any ideas, comments, questions or concerns you may have at step100@dgusa.com. Or feel free to leave a comment here.
