Do you dare to disrupt
THIS IS A CREATIVE EMERGENCY
DO NOT PANIC, YET
Enter the South West Design + Digital Student Awards
When the world demands change, designers are often the first to make it happen. We imagine what the future holds. Plan for the inevitable. And find new ways of doing the same old.
We’re seeking the next generation of design disruptors, ready to take up space in the industry. Whatever you submit (as ever, there’s no brief) we want to see work that moves beyond the mundane, transcends trends and demands urgent attention.
Do you dare to disrupt?
The categories
Submit your work by 13th June 2025
Think 2D, 3D and print.
Think web and digital graphic design.
Video, animation, motion graphics, AR, VR and CGI projects are all welcome.
What can I win?
Upon submitting your entry in one of our categories, you’ll automatically be in the running to win a prize.
And, if you stand out from the crowd, you could also win our bonus prize, awarded to the Ultimate Creative Champion across all categories.
MONEY TALKS
Each category winner will receive £1K in cash
The Ultimate Creative Champion will win £2K in cash
EXPERIENCE PAYS
All finalists (not just the winners!) will be in with the chance of scoring a paid 3-month internship at Proctor + Stevenson.
What can I submit?
No brief. No theme.
Just your own dangerously good work.
Submit something you’ve already created. Or craft something new that’s guaranteed to cut through the noise. It can be anything you want, but there are three provisos:
- It must fit into at least one of our three categories
- It must be commercially creative (designed with intention)
- You must be able to justify your reasoning behind it
How will each category be judged?
All submissions (whatever the category) will be assessed according to the following questions:
- Is it original?
- Is it creative?
- Does it demonstrate a firm grasp of design and/or development techniques?
- Is it effective in communicating its key idea or message?
- Is it appropriate for the intended audience and/or user friendly?
- Is it commercially viable? (Creativity is a wonderful thing. But in the real world with real clients paying real money, and expecting a real result, would it work?)
