Corel - Corel World Design Contest

Corel World Design Contest

The annual Corel World Design Contest ran from 1990 through 1998 and was considered to be one of the most prestigious graphic design contests, worldwide. The competition intended to recognize and encourage an international community of graphic artists from over 50,000,000 registered Corel users. Two finalists for each of the eight categories were awarded a trip to Ottawa, Canada to participate in the Corel World Design Contest gala and awards ceremony. The finalists from each of the eight categories received an issue of the "Corel Crystal Award". The collection of artworks were later released in a catalogue with bundled CD, under the name of "Corel Artshow".

Famous quotes containing the words world, design and/or contest:

    The world is filled with folly and sin,
    And Love must cling where it can, I say:
    For Beauty is easy enough to win;
    But one isn’t loved every day.
    “Owen” “Meredith” (1831–1891)

    The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.
    Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)

    Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.
    Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
