The faculty members who took care of the whole contest were Mrs. Maria Isabel R. Abucejo, Mr. Jay B. Paig as members and Ms. Mariejoe F. Narca as chairperson.

This year's theme for the Junior and Senior Graphic Designer of the Year was "ICT at Work: Connecting People in Building a Brighter Future." Though sharing the same theme, the contestants in each of the category used different applications in designing the graphics. The juniors used MS Paint while the seniors, Adobe Photoshop.

Only consolation prizes were given to Ms. Mary Ann Caliao for the Junior Web Designer of the Year and Mr. John Erzon Tan for the Senior Web Designer of the Year since no one was able to realize the specifications of the systems.
