ABOUT THE EVENT
For a milestone 70 years, the Type Directors Club’s Annual Competition has been celebrating the very best typography, lettering, and design the world has to offer. As we head towards the February 2024 entry deadline for this year’s awards, we invite you to reflect on that history with us!
Please join us virtually for two engaging panels featuring some of this year’s esteemed TDC70 judges as they reflect on past winners that have stood the test of time, as well as the projects they’ve seen in 2023 that deserve to stand alongside these historical gems.
Because the TDC Awards is a global competition, with submissions from all corners of the world, our panels are timed so that at least one is convenient for your time zone. First, tune in on Wednesday, January 17 at 8:30 AM ET — morning for those in the western hemisphere, afternoon for Europe and Africa, and evening for our Asia-Pacific entrants.
