The Penguin Design Award was launched in 2007 to encourage students on a Degree or HND Art or Design course to engage in design for publishing during their studies and to experience real jacket design briefs first-hand.

After the very high standard of the previous years' entries the judges are waiting with eager anticipation to see what the 2009 entries will bring.

If you would like the chance to win a six-week work placement within the Penguin design studio, as well as £1,000 in prize money, then read on, take a look around our website and start designing!

The closing date for entries is Friday, 17 April 2009.

The small print

The 2009 Award is open to all students on any year of a Degree or HND Art or Design course.

The award is not open to students on a Foundation course.

There is no fee for entry.

We regret that work can not be returned; however, you can collect it in person from the Penguin offices by prior arrangement (see Terms & Conditions for full details).
