AAAL Design Competition

2023 AAAL Design Competition
 

Dear AAAL Grads,

It’s that time of year again for our annual design competition! Winners will have their designs featured on apparel and accessories sold on Teespring. All proceeds will be used to support graduate students and the Fund for the Future of Applied Linguistics (FFAL). Please consider sharing your artistic talent for this important effort to support AAAL Grads!

​

Participants must be AAAL student members at the time of the submission and not have won the design competition in the previous year. The selected artist will be publicly recognized at the 2023 AAAL conference. The AAAL GSC will also sponsor an early-bird registration fee ($119) for the 2023 AAAL conference.

 

Your design should:

​

• include the name of the organization (American Association for Applied Linguistics or AAAL)

• connect to the field of applied linguistics (visually, thematically, and/or in some other way)

• not include the year of the competition in the design
