About the Challenge

The Bright Spark Summer 2021 Graphic Design Challenge is a free virtual graphic design competition for 4th-12th grade students hosted by Bridge Innovate.

For this challenge we are asking the question, How might we creatively demonstrate school or community spirit through graphic design? The final submission is a graphic design posted on Bridge's website for public voting. The top designs by age group with the most votes become the finalists and are forwarded on to a prestigious panel of judges who select the award winners.

The award winners are recognized at these virtual awards and awarded with a medal, a virtual certificate, recognition on the Bridge Innovate website and social media platforms, and a $100 gift card.

There will be a total of six awards granted:

  • (3) Best Overall Graphic Design by Age Level: Elementary, Middle, High

  • (2) Best Graphic Design by Themes: School, Community

  • (1) Most Creative Graphic Design  

The Finalists

Public voting has ended, and we would like to announce our top finalists from each age range that will be moving forward to final judging. Congratulations to these students who will move on to the next round of judging! Click here to view the finalists.
