B-sides: A Celebration of Shot-Down Ideas

in

We want your B-sides. You know the projects we mean: You came up with a great idea, but they chose the design equivalent of filler jingles written by Ringo. They picked not your anthem to white space, but the graphical version of a boy band: tolerated by all, but loved by none.

Let your creative genius be known! Give those unwittingly discarded designs their day in the sun - unfettered by realities like budget, timelines or the committee meatgrinder.

Get your submissions in because on April 8th, we'll be displaying the great ideas (the B-sides) side-by-side with the 'chosen ones' (the A-sides). Prizes will be awarded in various 'best of' categories, to be revealed the night of the event.

It's easy to submit entries (and free). We pledge that your entries will be seen only at the event, and won't be published or publicized. So, chances of offending any clients are slim to none.

Submission Deadline: March 25th
