Design Slam
We all know that genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent Presentation. That’s the idea behind AIGA Chicago’s first annual Design Slam. Here’s your chance to let your thoughts fly on one of today’s biggest questions for our members:

How does design impact our culture?

To qualify to participate, we’re looking for your 60-second presented response. Show us. Tell us. Wow us. Sell us. Straight or twisted. Written, memorized or mimed. Designed and visualized, put to music, put to death - any way you want to put it is up to you. The idea is to rock the house with your profundity.

Send your response, or description of your presentation, to our judging panel at info@aigachicago.org, subject: SLAM by April 15, 2006. We will select the best 20 entries based on originality, relevance to the membership and our judges warped sense of fun. Judges decisions are final. Each participant will be given exactly 60 seconds to present their Slam response. Then the hook comes out, the microphone power goes off. It’s that raw, er, simple.

Would you rather be the slamee than the slammer, come on out and cheer on your colleagues to their 60 seconds of infamy. Schmooze. Relax. Carouse. You know, like designers.
