#MyCECover Instagram Contest

Enter for a chance to win a RISD|CE gift card—and see your work on our cover.

What’s in your creative toolbox? We’re dedicating our winter 2018 brochure to “tools of the trade.” To kick things off, we’re looking for a student photograph, one that shows your creative toolbox. The Instagrammer with our favorite photo will see their work in print and receive a gift card good toward a RISD|CE course.

The prize includes:

• Your “toolbox” photo featured on the cover of our winter 2018 brochure
• A RISD|CE gift card (value: $250) good toward a RISD|CE course
