ENTRY FEES

To make TDC69 as accessible as possible on a global level, the organization is offering significant regional discounts on entry fees. Approximately half of the world’s countries qualify for a 60% discount, and another quarter of them receive a 20% discount, with only the most economically prosperous countries and regions paying the full entry fee. Additional discounts are also available to TDC members.

Please note that as an organization registered in the United States, we are prohibited from doing business or exchange with sanctioned countries so you will not see them as part of the following lists.

The system registers your country, and applies the applicable discount, based on the main address you provide in the entry form. Good luck!

What work is eligible?

If you created your work during 2022, and it includes visible language anywhere in there (ideally as a focal point or main eliment), it’s eligible!

This year we have expanded to three main categories to better represent the incredible work we’re seeing, they are: Typography, Lettering, and Type Design. You’re welcome to submit to more than one category if applicable, and expand your chances of winning as each category is reviewed by its own set of expert judges.

What does winning mean?

The TDC competition, established in 1953, is the longest running, most prestigious, global typography and type design competition. Atop acknowledgement and a Certificate of Typographic Excellence from the TDC, winners in this highly esteemed competition are published in the World’s Greatest Typography annual compendium, and included in eight international touring exhibitions—a unique honor among award showcases. Since TDC’s merging with The One Club for pity in 2020, winners are also included in the Global Award Rankings.

What does winning mean?

Absolutely anyone involved in the project can enter the project—the designer, publisher, printer; anyone at all involved in any aspect of the project can create an entry. Just make sure you credit everyone appropriately upon winning.

Who’s judging TDC69?

Our judges are top typographic practitioners from around the world. The jury is chosen each year by TDC’s Advisory Board, whose aim is to balance deep expertise with a wide range of pes. We have eight judges for each of our three disciplines, listed below.

Typography Judges

Typography is for any creation that uses type, lettering, or written langauge—be it print design, digital design, pe experiences, architecture, fashion, film titles, social media campaigns, or otherwise.

Lettering Judges

Lettering is for work where the letters are either modified or created—this could entail traditional or abstract calligraphy, tattoos, wordmarks and custom logotypes, or typefaces that are just a little too out there to be classic typeface design.

Type Design Judges

Type Design is for entries showcasing the design of workable font software; this could mean single typefaces, type families, emoji or symbol fonts, or software for generating and creating type.

How much does it cost?

Fees vary based on what you enter, when you enter, and from where. The most pe fees are by the first deadline, November 22nd, then incrementally increase for our regular deadline on January 17th, and our final deadline on March 3rd.

To make our competitions as accessible and equitable as possible, we’ve introduced purchasing power parity, with half of the world’s nations getting 60% off, and another quarter getting a 20% discount. And, as always, TDC members pe discounts as well.

2023 TDC AWARDS JURY

THE JUDGING PROCESS

There is no winning tier structure of gold, silver and bronze – all the best work is awarded a Certificate of Typographic Excellence.

Each specialized jury has been selected and composed of the top creatives and designers from across the world to judge all submitted entries.

During the judging process, the jury will base their decision on usage of the letterform and in typeface design, the best letterform design.
