Airport Workers Day 2024 Design Element
Award value: $5,000
Submission deadline: CLOSED
Size and medium: Presented in PDF as well as with the Photoshop/Illustrator working file.
Theme: Moving What Matters
June 26, 2024, marks the inaugural Canadian Airport Workers Day, organized by the Canadian Airports Council (CAC). Airports across Canada will hold appreciation events for their airport workforce and community with a theme of ‘Moving What Matters.’ This day will also serve as an important opportunity to highlight to government officials across Canada, the critical work that happens in the airport environment day and night. At YVR airport, we will be giving out buttons to airport workers across Sea Island, and we would like Musqueam design to be the feature. The design would be used in perpetuity, so a scalable design is essential. Please see the attached briefing for info and specifics.
