The CREATIVE Urban Race is a design competition and urban adventure like no other. Teams of two use their knowledge of design and the Houston creative scene to solve 9 clues leading them to complete innovative challenges, all while discovering the city’s creative pulse. AIGA Houston is teaming up with local businesses to challenge your creative minds in the service of a worthy cause. (Participating businesses TBA)

Objective: Test your creative mettle while supporting a worthy cause! To promote businesses in the local design industry and have a little competitive fun in the process, we’re teaming up with Houston Food Bank to collect non-perishable food items (which will be collected on-site) and create artwork for their new facility. How are we creating the artwork, you ask? By traveling to and solving the day’s 9 design challenges, your team will earn points toward a final design challenge: a poster design-off aimed at communicating a chosen social message. What type of social message? You’ll have to make it to the end to find out! Finished entries will then be juried by a celebrity panel and the winners will be announced at the closing party.

Grand Prize: WINNING TEAM RECEIVES A PAIR OF APPLE iPADS! Winner will be annouced at the CUR After Party from 7-9pm.
