I just wanted to let you know about a nice online initiative for young
designers.
British Airways is looking to update the introduction page of its
Upgrade site, (http://www.upgradetobritishairways.ba.com) and is
inviting young designers to submit their own Christmas themed design
ideas. A winning design will be selected and will become the new face
of the intro, and its creator will be accredited on the home page.
It is a big opportunity for young talents to get some recognition and
even traffic to their own portfolio site. So spread the word. But they
need to hurry. Deadline is Sunday the 2nd at midnight.
More information on how, where, when and what to submit are available
in the Terms and Conditions.
Thank you.
