The University of Canberra (UC) has launched its annual competition giving Year 11 and 12 students in the ACT and NSW the opportunity to win a year of free tuition for a Faculty of Arts and Design (FAD) degree at UC.
The University said the UC Creative Competition, encouraged prospective students to showcase creative skills that were aligned to UC’s FAD courses.
“Three runners-up will receive a semester of free tuition towards a FAD degree, and cash prizes will be given to discipline winners for the People’s Choice Award and to one highly-commended entry,” the University said.
It said the competition allowed entries in four categories including, arts; built environment; communications and media; as well as design.
Executive Dean of FAD at UC, Jason Bainbridge said the program was of benefit to any senior high school student considering a career in the creative industries.
“A career in arts and design can take you so many places, across so many different sectors,” Professor Bainbridge said.
“The Creative Competition is a great way of encouraging high school students to get creative and imagine possible career paths now,” he said.
Professor Bainbridge said the competition gave creative students a chance to showcase their skills and familiarise themselves with the Faculty prior to finishing high school.
