What about Oakland Inspires YOU?

Oakland Digital (ODALC) invites your design entry to our 2nd annual “Inspire Oakland” billboard contest.  This year’s theme is “What about Oakland Inpires YOU?”  “Inspire Oakland”  encourages interest in graphic design and  information technologies through creative expression.

The ultimate goal of this project is to promote a positive image of Oakland that unites and inspires its diverse population, while encouraging young talent to jumpstart their digital media careers.

Last year’s four finalists shared the spotlight on Gilman Street digital billboard viewable from the I-80 freeway.  Remember seeing their designs?

It’s your turn.

Grand Prize:
The grand prize winner’s design will be displayed on both the digital billboard (HWY 80) and a static billboard in Oakland, and publicly unveiled at Temescal Street Fair, June 5th, 2011

Deadline:
Don’t delay!  Entries must be submitted to “inspire@odalc.org” by Wednesday, May 4th, 2011 at 11:59pm.
