California is a cradle of innovation. From high-tech to bio-tech and from agriculture to entertainment, our creativity and determination have propelled us to success on an international stage. Twenty years ago the California chapters of the American Institute of Graphic Arts banded together and gave identity to our accomplishments by presenting a competition open only to California designers and dedicated to recognizing the unique qualities that make design done here so special. As we start to define the next twenty years it’s a perfect time to host a second statewide design competition and see how our imagination and inspiration continue to shape the California dream. Selected entries will be showcased in gala exhibitions in San Francisco’s Presidio and the AIGA National Design Gallery; published in a show catalog, featured on AIGA chapter websites, and publicized from coast to coast.
History—Twenty years ago, in 1983, California members of the AIGA hosted a design competition open to all California based graphic designers. The results of the competition, The California Show, were presented in dual exhibitions held in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Selected entries were also published by the AIGA in the national design annual and mailed to members nationwide. The program was chaired by Kit Hinrichs and juried by Paula Scher, Robert Cipriani, Massimo Vignelli, Stan Richards and Alicia Landon.
