Steal This Idea

Steal This Idea is the ACUI's marketing and graphics competition to recognize the year's best promotional ideas throughout the regions and presents them at the conference. There are at least 10 design categories and each category has both student and professional entries. The winning entries are selected based on concept, design, editorial content, and effectiveness. Also, a "Best in Show" award will honor the top idea presented.
