Sign and graphics professionals across Canada are encouraged to enter this year’s National Sign Competition as soon as possible, since the deadline for entries—May 3, 2013—is fast-approaching.

Each year, Sign Media Canada recognizes the best in all types of signage:

• Building signs.
• Digital signage.
• Illuminated signs.
• Sign systems.
• Soft signage.
• Stand-alone signs (past winner pictured).
• Unique signs.
• Vehicle graphics.

Projects completed and installed in Canada between March 31, 2012, and March 31, 2013, are eligible for this year’s competition. All entries are judged by an independent panel of industry experts, based on the criteria of originality, creativity, appearance and design suitability.

In addition to winners in each of the aforementioned categories, one ‘best in show’ winner will receive a free trip to the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) Expo in October in Orlando, Fla.

There is no charge to enter. For full details, visit competition.www.signmedia.ca today.
