Innovating, Colorado Style: Foundry 301 Snowboard Design Competition
25th February 2015
Everyone in Colorado knows having a uniquely designed snowboard is just good mountain etiquette. With this in mind, Foundry 301, the student chapter of AIGA hosts an Annual Snowboard Design Competition. Students from across Colorado were invited to submit designs to the competition, the top 10 designs were up for auction at the Access Gallery + Studio on Santa Fe Drive. And this year, Oz Snowboards also chose two of their favorite designs from the competition to feature on their line of snowboards.
Judges of the competition were drawn from leading companies in the design and snowboard industries in Colorado and included Bradley Wajcman from Rise Branding, Zack Dickinson from 7Twenty, Adam Browning from Oz Snowboards and Matt Girard from Design Firm. The top four designs got to head home with a snowboard with their design on it. We chatted with some of these upcoming designers about where they see their careers going in the future and how they plan on innovating within the Colorado economy.
