This is a respond to a previously asked question about the A' Design Award and Competition. The full list of frequently asked questions can be accessed here.

#279: For the client, studio, brand details section: The entry is a design that was developed in university. There is not one specific client. Should I fill those blanks with the university name or should I leave them blank, since their optional? Should I put the university logo at the yearbook page?

You have two options, you could fill your own name to the client or you could fill university name. Some universities pay for entry fees for their students and professors, if they paid your fee you can put their logo and promote the university, otherwise you can put your name and logo and promote your own brand. If you do not have a logo, and if your university permits logo usage, you could put university logo.
