Where's it all happening?
Famed home of Banksy, Wallace and Gromit, pirates, and top-hatted engineers with fabulous sideburns. It's all happening in lovely ol' Bristol.
Judgement Day (and the evening Awards Ceremony) will take place on Wednesday 25th June 2025 (lucky for some).
All finalists will be invited to Watershed at the Harbourside, Bristol.
Here you’ll be given 25 minutes to talk the judges through your masterpiece, and convince them that the prize(s) should be yours!

Our judges are lovely people. This isn’t Dragon’s Den. There’ll be none of that good-cop, bad-cop crap. This is merely the chance for us to get to know you a bit better, and for you to say what you want to say, the way you want to say it.
After judging you’ll have some time to explore the delights of Bristol before donning your finery later that evening to re-join us at Watershed for the Awards Ceremony.
Aside from announcing our victors and celebrating these creative overachievers, there’ll be food, drinks and mingling. But you don’t have to do it alone. Your golden ticket entitles you to bring a plus two. They’ll be more than welcome.
The following week, we’ll release a video featuring all our finalists’ work, plus snippets from the evening. So you can bask in the glory, and get sharing on the socials.
