Creative Promise Award for Student Excellence

The Creative Promise Award for Student Excellence is given once a year by the Surface Design Association to recognize excellence in a body of work by two outstanding students, one under graduate and one graduate. These two $750 awards are based on artistic and technical merit and may be used toward tuition, materials, equipment, educational travel, or any other expenses related to professional development. In addition, the winner’s work will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Surface Design Journal.
