fyi, CA, we could post our "best" typography online at a few hundred websites/blogs that will get seen by thousands ... for FREE! Print that.
...everyone is supposed to be against "spec work", yet these are ok?
hundreds of people pay the $35 U.S. fee and then only a few actually get something in return
CA wins the best one ... the "financial award" with your hard-earned entry fees
clients don't give a crap about typography or awards
