For the two senior portfolio competitions (the Padgett and Jump-Start Scholarship) when it says we need 7-10 pieces, does that means 7-10 single items or 7-10 Campaigns/Projects?

I paid to submit a piece but I didn't see the tracking tag that I need to print out. Where do I find this tag?

I went to the first DSVC Student Show in 2004 as a student, it was an amazing experience and it's when I really started getting serious about my design work. Couldn't recommend this enough to students, it was well worth the cost.

Correction: the first National Student Show was in 2005

It means they are doing it in every years. That's why they use a time sign for the name of the competition.
