Adobe recently announced the winners of its annual Adobe Design Achievement Awards. Now in its sixth year, the premier student design competition honors the world’s most talented student graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, animators, digital filmmakers and computer artists from the top design, film and broadcast institutions. This year’s competition attracted more than 1,800 talented students from 24 countries.

The program is designed to offer students an opportunity to gain international recognition for their projects as well as a chance to network with industry professionals. The annual studio tours also offer the students a glimpse into how professional studios operate. Twelve firms opened up their doors including CHUM Ltd., Cuppa Coffee Studios, Gottschalk+Ash International, Grip Ltd., Hahn Smith Design, Harlequin Enterprises Ltd., Interbrand, Oxygen Design + Communications, Soapbox Design Communications, Inc., Spencer Francey Peters, Tango Media Group, and TAXI Canada, Inc. An awards gala, which took place at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, was the first time many of the finalists had their own projects exhibited for the industry’s most recognized creative pros. Adobe also extended internship opportunities for the finalists to showcase their work outside of the ADAA at events including Sundance and the ZeroOne Festival.

Students competed in nine categories, which were evaluated by a panel of judges including Leslie Allen from Cinergy Creative in Studio City, Calif., Julie Beeler from Second Story in Portland, Ore., Stefan Bucher from 344 Design in Los Angeles, Rodolphe Guenoden from Dreamworks Animation in Los Angeles, Diti Katona from Concrete Design Communications in Toronto, Canada, and Masamichi Udagawa from Antenna Design in New York City.
