CorelDRAW has announced its 2015 International Design Contest that runs until 31 May 2015. Participants can submit artwork created in CorelDRAW® X7 or Corel® PHOTO-PAINT™ X7 for their chance to win. With over R1 million ($100,000) in prizes to be won, this year’s contest promises to bring out the best in CorelDRAW designers and artists.
Gérard Métrailler, Vice President, Product Management, Graphics and Productivity at Corel said, 'Seeing the artwork and designs that people create with CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is what inspires us to develop and maintain the programme. The International Design Contest gives us an opportunity not only to see more of this incredible artwork, but also to showcase CorelDRAW users and give them the exposure that they truly deserve.'
