AIGA New Orleans | Design Awards & Exhibition

Design Awards & Exhibition

On December 5, 2009, AIGA New Orleans celebrated its 2009 Design Awards & Exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans. Over 300 entries were submitted, and the CAC proved to be the perfect venue to showcase the amazing talent we have here in the Gulf South region.

AIGA New Orleans handed out over 60 awards for excellence in the broad categories of branding, promoting, informing, entertaining and experimenting. We also acknowledged the personal contributions of Magen Gladden as our Volunteer of the Year. And we closed out the night by honoring Christy Hackenberg as our 2009 AIGA New Orleans Fellow for her outstanding contribution to AIGA and the design community.

A complete list of those acknowledged for the excellence of their work follows.
