2026 GLITCH NATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION



2026 Glitch National Student Juried Design Competition

Hosted by AIGA MSU



Born through the power of a mishap, an unavoidable accident, a glitch will somehow almost always produce our best work. When you are forced to take a step back and reevaluate, you gain a new perspective. GLITCH celebrates that.



02.27.26 - 03.5.26



Reception:

February 27, 5-6pm
Mississippi State Old Main Gallery
560 Barr Ave, Starkville, MS 39759
