The University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism and Mass Communications was well represented at the 2019 SHOW Exhibition, sponsored by AIGA Nebraska. 

SHOW is an exhibition and celebration of Nebraska's most outstanding design work. The event was held on Saturday, Nov. 23 in Omaha. Submitted work is critiqued by professionals in the field and awards are presented at the end of the exhibit. 

The students involved were supervised by various CoJMC professors, including Kelli Britten, Alan Eno, Patti Harney, Katie Krcmarik and Adam Wagler.

"The SHOW Exhibition offers our students a unique opportunity to have their work viewed and judged by well respected designers from all over the country,” Krcmarik said. “For those pursuing careers in the creative side of advertising, it also offers the chance to be seen by creative professionals from Omaha and Lincoln and the ability to network with those creatives to make valuable connections."
