Hello all and welcome to the Third annual North American Design Competition sponsored by Valliant. My name is Boeing Flight Simulator and I will be the host of this year's competition alongside ThePessimist and GJ. We are happy to welcome you to this year's competition and hope you have as much fun designing as we did setting this up for you all. Now without further adieu we will get into the guidelines for this year's competition.

First off the changes from (Link) last year's competition.

2. Additional Countries/ Regions

Now onto categories, There will be four categories to this competition same as last year,

10 points for Design Principles: How well executed is the brand and its overall design?

10 points for Auxiliary Branding: How well does it fit into its area and target audience, is the auxiliary branding executed well?

NADC 2 Results!

First off I would like to apoligize to all of you who entered for taking a long time to finish composing the results. There was a bit of a internal problem with the NADC judging this year but we will learn from our mistakes and hopefully be able to come back next year with a much more streamlined process for judging results. 

And of course would not be right to not say thank you too all of you who took time to design something for this competition Airplano21 and myself have a great deal of fun putting this together for you all every year and hope it can continue in similar fashion next spring!

With that out of the way here are the results of NADC 2, Congrats!
