The University of Kent’s Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries is proud to launch its first creative competition on the theme of Connection.
We want to invite young people to showcase their creativity during this extraordinary year.
What does Connection mean to you? Which connections are proving to be the most important? Connections are being maintained more than ever through technology at the moment – what impact might this have on the future? Are we discovering new connections with society, or nature? What connections would you like to be making in a year’s time?
The competition is open to all 14 – 16-year olds who live in Kent and Medway, to make something creative that expresses your response to the theme.
We are very keen to accept submissions using a range of creative media and technology. Entrants are asked to showcase their creativity in one or more of the following areas:
- Digital arts
- Film
- Animation
- Photography
- Music production
- Performance (submitted as a recording)
- Creative writing
Shortlisted entries will be exhibited at an online digital exhibition during the autumn term 2020.
