Communication Design at Citytech, CUNY

Earlier in June, COMD proudly hosted the 25th Annual Citywide Graphic Arts Competition, welcoming more than 200 high school students to showcase their talents in illustration, graphic design, web design, photography, and filmmaking. Participants were challenged with a themed assignment and had just three hours to bring their ideas to life.

Congrats to this year’s winners and all the talented participants!

A special thank-you to COMD Chair George Garrastegui, our faculty judges — Deepa Shanbhag, Hoda Ramy, Sandra Lloyd, Peter Fikaris, Lyubava Kroll, Craig Lowy, George Larkins, and Josh Kapusinski — along with our dedicated staff, and COMD student ambassadors Andrea 𝕬𝖓𝖉𝖗𝖊𝖆 𝕵𝖆𝖎𝖒𝖊 ❤️‍🔥 and Amir Amir gamble, for helping make this milestone event such a success 🎉👏

Congrats to the class of 2026.
