Faculty and students also had the opportunity to vote for their favorite work in each category listed above to determine the winners of merchant prizes.

Students from the Arts Management Organization, National Art Educators Association, Student Art League, and American Institute of Graphic Arts have contributed time and manpower to the events. In addition, senior Graphic Design major Eric Cox created the design for the prospectus, poster, postcard and other publications.
