Our goal is to stimulate, enhance and develop the graphic design profession and to embrace the other art fields. AIGA SC will serve as the heart for all areas of creativity.
InShow
InShow is AIGA SC's annual design competition. Started by the Columbia Communicating Arts Society, InShow is entering its 14th year. AIGA SC took over InShow in 2004. Initially, InShow was created to highlight professional work in the Columbia area. In 2004, a student category was added and in 2005, the call for entries was extended to the entire state.
