AIGA’s Get Out the Vote campaign invites designers to create nonpartisan posters and videos that inspire the American public to participate in the electoral process and vote in the 2012 general election.
Get Out the Vote, an AIGA Design for Democracy initiative, enables designers to engage in the public arena by contributing to a coordinated voter mobilization campaign. By motivating eligible citizens to register and turn out on election day, Get Out the Vote fulfills an ongoing AIGA objective of demonstrating the value of design to the public, public officials and business by providing a clear call to action for an activity that is important to everyone.
In coordination with the national initiative, we will be holding a poster exhibition, showing the posters submitted by members of AIGA Idaho at Flying M Downtown during the month of June. The deadline to submit artwork is June 1st.

As we come up on the the busiest time of the year for most, I wanted to take a minute and talk about what AIGA Idaho has been working on. One of my stated goals when I took office as President is to start an AIGA Idaho design awards competition. I'm happy to announce that we now have a committee laying the framework for that, and you should see a call for entries in the coming months. I believe that we have a responsibility to recognize the great design work that is coming out of our community, judged from an outside perspective. Our friends at the Idaho Advertising Federation have done a great job of recognizing work in the field of marketing and advertising, and it's our goal to do the same for design. Of course, as with any new initiative, there are myriad unknowns to balance. At the core of it, the real question is "What would our members see value in, in terms of a design competition?" I put that question out to you, and welcome your insight and feedback as we put this into motion. Please feel free to email me directly at president@aigaidaho.org.
