Graduate Careers Australia (GCA) is searching for a creative student to design a brand new front cover for its 2014 Graduate Opportunities (GO) directory.

GO is Australia’s iconic graduate jobs directory, designed specifically for university students to assist with their career search. GO gets plenty of exposure as a print publication, with over 40,000 copies distributed nationally each year, and is supported by a high-traffic website and eBook version.


Prizes

  • The winning design will become the front cover of the 2014 Graduate Opportunities (GO) publication
  • The winning designer will also receive a one-week paid internship at GCA to complete the production of their design, as well as full acknowledgement of their artwork within the publication and the opportunity to quote for further design work at GCA
  • The GCA office is based in Melbourne, so remote networking will be provided for any interstate winner 


Selection process

  1. The criteria for judging the best submission will include adherence to the design guidelines, along with the production of an imaginative design that is strong, creative and can be reproduced easily for print and online use.

  3. Stage 2 will see all designs within the shortlist being reviewed by a selection panel made up of industry sector representatives and a winner selected.
