UCDA : connecting, inspiring, and supporting a creative community in education
page header

Design educators have the capability to help students get civically involved, and student designers have the power to inspire the public to register to vote in the 2020 local and general elections.

This year, the Vote 2020 Student Poster Design Initiative helps promote civil engagement by enabling students to design an original, nonpartisan poster for print or social media use. We welcomed entries as part of a class assignment or done independently by students outside of class.

Posters were reviewed by a panel of design educators. UCDA honors eight students with two first place winners and six honorable mention winners, seen below.

All the student-designed entries can be viewed here
