Design Competition


Design a banner stand
Three cash grants available
All UK college and university students eligible
Open for academic year 2023/24

Enter now for 2024
Following on from our previous successful scholarship programme, we wanted to give a similar opportunity to students this year.

Weā€™re asking college students, undergraduate university students and post graduate students to draw on their subject knowledge, inspiration from their course and their creative flair to create an eye-catching and inspirational design which could be used on a banner stand display, often seen at university open days and events.
Brief

The objective is to design a banner stand that promotes the student's relevant course and appeals to prospective students while taking into consideration the brand and identity of their university or college.
