Designer Talent to Shine in the 2015 CorelDRAW International Design Contest

Corel is launching the 2015 CorelDRAW International Design Contest, which runs from March 1 to May 31, 2015. During that time, participants can submit artwork created in CorelDRAW^® X7 or Corel^® PHOTO-PAINT^™ X7 for their chance to win. This year’s contest promises to bring out the best in CorelDRAW designers and artists. “Seeing the artwork and designs that people create with CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is what inspires us to develop and maintain the program,” said Gérard Métrailler, Vice President, Product Management, Graphics & Productivity at Corel. “The International Design Contest gives us an opportunity not only to see more of this incredible artwork, but also to showcase CorelDRAW users and give them the exposure that they truly deserve.” Participants can submit entries into any of the following categories:

• Advertising/Specialty Graphics – Flyers, brochures, logos, signs, banners, awards, engraving, and other designs related to advertising, marketing or point of purchase (POP)
• Vehicle Wraps – Designs for car, truck, boat or other vehicle wraps
• Textile/Fashion Design – Designs for fashion, embroidery and direct-to-garment printing
• General Illustration & Fine Art – Artistic, creative and unique designs
• Student – Designs submitted by students who are formally enrolled in an educational institution
• Bonus Category: Speed Drawing Video – Time-lapse videos showing creation of a design in CorelDRAW^® X7 or Corel^® PHOTO-PAINT^™ X7 (maximum length of five minutes); designs submitted in another category can also be submitted in this category

Three winners will be chosen for each category, including one grand-prize winner, resulting in a total of 18 winners. Judging will take place throughout the months of June and July and Corel will announce the winners at the end of July.
