Design at its best forces us to grow, to branch out into the unknown, and discover. Once again, AIGA Raleigh & AIGA Charlotte have partnered to celebrate the work of local designers budding with talent. BOOM, our biennial design competition, highlights the region’s most imaginative solutions and rewards inspired thinking.

AIGA’s competitions are widely recognized as the discerning statement on design excellence today, extending a legacy that began 90 years ago.

By means of these competitions, AIGA creates an authoritative chronicle of outstanding design solutions, each of which demonstrates the process of designing, the role of the designer, and
the value of design.

AIGA is proud to recognize and honor the cultivation of great design.



AIGA RALEIGH & AIGA CHARLOTTE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR OFFICIAL BOOM SPONSORS:
