Judging criteria.
Here’s what the expert judges are looking for when reviewing your work. All submissions will be judged equally according to these four criteria:
Creativity
Digital literacy
Originality
Overall quality
The value of digital skills.
Digital literacy is the ability to use digital tools to solve problems, create innovative projects and enhance communications that help you be prepared for the workplace. These are skills every new graduate needs to demonstrate to employers.
Boost your communication skills.
Showing how you can communicate complex ideas in a simple, creative and impactful way can help you to stand out.
Power up your projects.
Creative problem-solving and the ability to collaborate effectively with others are soft skills many current graduates are lacking. They’re missing out — so make sure you don’t!
From side gig to centre stage.
With AI and automation predicted to replace around 80% of today’s jobs by 2037, you need to make sure you can do the things computers can’t — articulate ideas and be creative.
Thanks for handing in your amazing work.
We’ll be announcing the winners in July.
Power up your coursework.
If you don’t already have access through your university, you can save 70% on the Creative Cloud All Apps Plan. With 20+ creative apps at your fingertips, you’ll have everything you need to give your coursework the Digital Edge.
