Dear All

Due to changes in the marketing budget, the Plascon Prism Awards will not be taking place during 2011.

We would like to thank all the institutions for their input and participation over the past 11 years that we have run the project, and look forward to working with you and your students in the future.

Yours sincerely,
Richard Nuss

Do visit the Plascon Prisms website - www.plasconprismawards.co.za - you will find out all about the students criteria for entry as well as the judging criteria. You will also be able to read about previous awards.
Plascon Prism Awards team appreciates that judging is a very personal and subjective task. We have furnished our judges with a guideline to assist them with the judging process, but leave the ultimate decision to them based on their knowledge of the industry and experience. It is of utmost importance that the students use the colour palette provided to them in the brief. This is always the Plascon pallette for that year.

What criteria do you use in the Plascon Prism Awards do decide on winners. What role does colour play and how do you judge the use of colours in the project?

Hi karabo

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this to our attention.
If your pictures do not appear, it means that the files were either not in a correct format, or corrupt.
Can you please send them through to us and we will upload them for you?

Kind regards and have a great weekend!

Hi All,

To assist you with finding the Plascon Prism Enteries follows these steps :

Click on ‘photos’
Select ‘all albums’
Search for ‘plascon prism awards’:
This will provide you with 102 albums for the Plascon Prism Awards.
There is 1 album per student and each student can have more than 1 picture uploaded.
When clicking on the album, it will show you all the photos and where provided, the rationale.
In each album, you can add comments to provide the student with constructive feedback.
When clicking ‘backspace’ you will go back to the page with the albums for Plascon Prism Awards.

Have fun looking at all the projects - and do pass comment/s.

Hi Carly

Apologies for the inconvenience caused.
This is either the only picture we received, or the additional pictures were not in the correct format or corrupted and we were therefore unable to upload them for you.

Can you please send me your pictures asap and we will upload them to your album immediately. Because I agree with you, if there are 4 instead of 1, we need to show all of them to give the judges a fair view on the project.

Can you please send the pictures to me (carlaj@virtualworks.co.za) and I will add them for you.

I will also alert Themba about the fact that more pictures have been added and ask him to review the project again for you.

Kind regards
Carla Jones

Hi Plascon

I have entered my project into the Prism Awards and recently found that only the first page has been uploaded to design mind. Why is this? Would it be possible to upload the full project for a more fair crit? The first page is merely an introduction to the project and does not really show the design very well.

Thank you
Carly Warren
