ARTISTIK ENVY is the search for creative genius. This will be a competition open exclusively to active students and alumni of the Academy, in all fields of study. Similar to a reality/talent show, ten contestants will be expected to produce a series of projects from themed challenges and present them LIVE to a panel of judges from the advertising industry. The LIVE events will be held at The International Academy of Design & Technology in Tampa, Florida. The competition’s objective is to find the most creative person by targeting their abilities to think creatively from concept to creation.

Competition begins October 10th and runs through December 12th. Click here for upcoming challenge dates.
