DSVC is the Dallas Society of Visual Communications and has an annual student show and conference. This show also includes a student competition but the deadline was February 25th. You do not need to register for the conference to participate in the competition (the fee was $20). This year (2009) the conference will be on April 2-4. Registration deadline is March 27th. It’s well worth the trip.
