FAQ

Can I submit entries for my design team, or do we need to submit everything individually? 

Design teams are encouraged to submit their work! If a team has one or more RGD Members, the project(s) were worked on by the RGD Member(s) and they're listed in the credits, the project can be submitted under the RGD fee. If not, the project(s) fall under the Non-Member category.
