conferences/competitions
There is no better way to feed your soul and gain a little recognition than entering a contest or attending a conference. Here are some great local ones that you should try to attend. It may seem expensive initially but the experience will be worth it, I promise.
Dallas Society of Visual Communicators Student Show
Dallas, TX
April 2010 (Entries due February 2010)

This is probably the easiest conference to attend and will provide many opportunities for growth and networking.
Includes: Competition, Student Show, Speakers, Studio Tours, Portfolio Review
Creative Summit
San Marcos, TX (outside Austin)
March 26-27, 2010
http://www.creativesummit.com/
Includes: Competition, Student Show, Portfolio Review
HOW Design Conference
Denver, CO
June 6-9,2010
This is a professional conference that also has student section. This is about as close as it gets to Oklahoma. Take advantage of it. Oh, and don’t forget that as a student you can attend for far cheaper than a professional. Like half of what it costs after school, plus save $200 if you register before March.
Includes: Show, Big Name Speakers, Workshops, Great Networking opportunities
