The UC Creative Competition celebrates the creativity of Year 11 and 12 students from the ACT, NSW and QLD. Participating students stand a chance to win a full year’s tuition and semester study grants towards an Arts and Design degree at UC, and cash prizes for each competition category. Each work will be published in our competition gallery and open to voting for our annual People's Choice Award.
Submissions to this competition can be used to form part of the participating student's portfolio to gain entry into any of the Faculty of Arts and Design degrees.
The UC Creative Competition has concluded for 2023 and we are excited to announce the winning entries. We’d like to thank all students who participated this year and our judging panel who had the toughest role in awarding prizes due to the high calibre of entries.
Thank you to our partners at Adobe for the amazing prizes. We would also like to thank Edii for providing an additional prize to the People’s Choice Award.
Congratulations and well done to all our winners and participants!
