IJAC COVER DESIGN COMPETITION

Five sibling CAD organizations, including eCAADe, have joined together to support the creation of the International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC). Every year, IJAC publishes four issues that feature the same cover design. For 2007, eCAADe is conducting a competition to choose the cover image of IJAC in 2008.

First prize: 250 Euros
Second Prize: 150 Euros
Third Prize: 100 Euros
