International Design Competition | Spark Awards

Our Design supporters have contributed greatly to creating our promotional and branding campaign, for which we thank Kit Hinrichs of Studio Hinrichs in San Francisco. This elegant website was created by the FGI team in Seattle. The Spark Award Celebration is also a tribute to its "pro" production team, starting with Billingsly & Brown, and our friends Lacy and Otis. We especially benefited from the skill and dedication of graphic designer Gloria Heik and jury and event managers Theresa Hulme, Nirman Bisla, Marina Chistodulides, Ben Guthrie and Deidre Fogg.

Finally, we'd like to thank the many volunteers who have made the Spark Awards possible. Over the last three years all of these folks have given freely of their wisdom, hope, vitality and hard work to see Spark become a reality. They have our sincerest appreciation and thanks.
