EDPA STUDENT COMPETITION
At Acme, exhibit design is one of the most fascinating aspects of creative space. We encourage our young designers to become a part of this competition.
As an up-and-coming designer, you have been asked to provide a response to an RFP (request for proposal) for a traveling exhibit for H-2 Technologies, Inc. For the first time we have formatted our competition to look like what the industry refers to as a Request for Proposal ( RFP). This structure allows for you to not only gain the information required to enter the competition but to do so in a format that will help familiarize you with the real world of not only the exhibition industry, but many other creative response industries as well.
