This Spring, graphic communications students from high schools all over New York City will come together at a college in Brooklyn to test their skills in the Finals of the Ninth Annual Citywide Graphic Arts Competition. The seven competition categories showcase the talent and skills of the students and the depth of their schools' graphics education programs. In a preliminary Qualifying Round in March, local competitions run by high school graphics teachers will select the best work in each category and submit the material on-line or on disk for judging.
The categories for this year's Competition include two new competitions for 2010:
