.
The last few years have shown us all that health and wellness are of transcendent importance to our individual and societal well-being – central to the national conversation and policy debate – and an area in which graphic designers have a vital role to play. Our annual competition has long taken in the big picture of healthcare — from traditional medicine to healthy lifestyles from physical to mental health from pharmaceuticals to medical cannabis from established practices to alternative solutions from public health to public policy. This is a rare opportunity to be recognized by clients, colleagues, managers, and the community for design and marketing excellence. GDUSA has been publishing to and organizing competitions for the creative community for 63 years.

HOW TO ENTER
ELIGIBILITY
Entries may be submitted by any company, agency or individual involved in the creation or production or distribution or placement of the work. Entries must have been created or produced or published anytime from January 1, 2025 – August 31, 2026.
SPECIAL NOTE TO ENTRANTS
Now in our 63rd year, GDUSA competitions have grown so large that we have engaged a specialized awards firm respected and renowned — OPENWATER — that greatly simplifies the entry process and makes the flow easier and more intuitive for you. Among the upgrades: you can start an entry, save it in draft, and finish it later; a CART system lets you collect all the entries and pay once at the end of the process with all major credit cards; and discounts are automatically calculated for you. GDUSA will, of course, continue to control all design, content, and review activities.
1. LOG IN OR CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT
If you have an OpenWater account you can simply log in. If you do not have an Openwater account, you will need to open a new account. This is QUICK and EASY; just a few lines of basic information.
2. SELECT THE CATEGORY
Select the category that best describes your entry.
3. SUBMIT ENTRY DETAILS
For each entry, note the design firm or creative agency or inhouse department plus client, title of entry, and any individual creative credits you wish.
4. UPLOAD DIGITAL FILES/ELECTRONIC ARTWORK
Specifications are provided for all types of categories. In most cases, you will be asked to upload 1-4 images that display your entry or 1 composite image that includes the highlights. When relevant, such as for websites and videos, we ask for the URL as well as the 1-4 supporting still images. For the images, we much prefer JPGs but will accept other formats.
5. PAYMENT FOR ENTRIES (AND PAST WINNER DISCOUNT)
Each entry automatically appears in a CART and you can pay once for any or all entries at the end. We accept payment by major Credit Cards or via Paypal. There are deep volume discounts built automatically into the entry fee schedule (see below). AND if you are a Past Winner of any GDUSA competition, you are entitled to additional 20% discount; please email us – awards@gdusa.com – for the promo code to use at checkout.
