About the competition

The UC Creative Competition celebrates the creativity of Year 11 and 12 students from across the country. 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.

Congratulations to all our winners!

The UC Creative Competition has concluded for 2024 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 wonderful sponsors at Adobe and Edii who continue to expand our prize pool each year. We would also like to extend our gratitude to our partners at TAFE QLD for all their support and dedication towards growing the competition.

Congratulations and well done to all our winners and participants!
