SA International (SAi), the leading provider of software solutions for the professional signmaking, wide-format digital printing and CAD/CAM for CNC machining industries, announced the launch of its EnRoute Design Contest with a formal call for entries at ISA Sign Expo.

As the first competition of its kind from SAi, the challenge aims to encourage EnRoute users to demonstrate the creative accomplishments that they have achieved from harnessing the feature-rich capabilities of the software. Individuals or groups of four are invited to submit designs/projects from one of four categories: signs, architectural millwork, furniture and novelty.

The overall winner will receive $1000 cash prize as well as an all-expenses paid trip* to the EnRoute Summit. Taking place in Salt Lake City, between 27-29th September, this informative three-day workshop provides the opportunity for users to increase their productivity using EnRoute – from concept to finished output. First place winners of each category will be awarded with a $250 cash prize as well as free airfare and registration to the EnRoute Summit, while second place winners will receive free registration to the EnRoute Summit**.
