We want to be optimistic, to see things from a more cheerful point of view. To find the gentle side of reality. To share good vibrations.

With this goal and the slogan “Positive Point”, Torraspapel presents the ninth edition of its annual design contest for graphic arts students in Spain.

The competition seeks to put students’ creativity to the test, challenging them to express their ideas and submit a design for a bookmark.

Students enrolled in graphic arts courses in schools belonging to Torraspapel’s Partnership Program are eligible to participate in the contest in the following categories:

- Students of Publishing Design and Production; Students of Graphic Arts Production; Masters of Graphic Arts Students.

- Students of Pre-Print and Print

The final submission date for the bookmarks is March 20, 2012.

A panel made up of Graphic Arts and design specialists will award the effort, originality and creativity of the participants with the following prizes for each category:

• First prize: mini laptop computer and accrediting diploma.
• Second prize: iPod touch 8GB and accrediting diploma.

The first-prize winner’s school in each category will receive a commemorative plaque and a check for 1,000 € to be used toward the purchase of teaching materials.

On April 13, 2012, winners will be announced on our website.

This initiative is part of Torraspapel’s commitment to social responsibility, in keeping with the company’s mission and corporate values.
