Hawaii’s 5-O Design Competition & Awards Gala

Hawaii’s 5-O design competition was created in 2001 by AIGA Honolulu and Hawaii's printers to celebrate graphic design excellence. As the competition has evolved to include web, motion and app design, still only 50 winners are chosen. Eligible projects are judged for craft, concept, and aesthetic achievement as determined by our nationally-recognized judges, who you can meet at the show!

The 2017 Judges will be in attendance!

It highlights local talent in the fields of design as well as print production, photography, illustration and copywriting. Since the first 5-O show in 2001, we've named 450 winners. The 2017 winners will bring this distinguished pool to 500.
