PRIZE DRAW WINNERS – TREND BRIEFS

During Winter School 2021 we held a prize draw to win places on 3 of our online courses from the Make it in Design school! Entrants were required to simply submit work to the online submission galleries for the trend design briefs in their TRACK and subsequently were entered into the prize draw. That was it – it’s not based on favourites or skill – it’s the luck of the draw so everyone had the chance to win!
