The Adobe Design Achievement Awards celebrates student achievement that assimilates the powerful convergency of technology with the creative arts industry. Nearly 1,000 students from 160 schools in the United States, Canada, and the U.K. submitted over 1,400 entries to this year's competition. Winners were chosen in seven creative categories, representing work by some of the most talented and promising student graphic designers, illustrators, digital filmmakers, and computer artists from leading art and design schools.

The student winners were honored by Adobe and the design community at a special event held on July 29, 2004, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
