Applied Arts strives to help the next generation of creatives get the recognition they deserve by giving students the opportunity to submit their work into our Applied Arts Student Awards program. These Awards are one of the most anticipated awards programs of the year by students and seasoned pros. The judges, all industry pros, find a fresh lease on their creativity from reviewing and scoring the truly awe-inspiring work.

“Even considering this was all student work, there are always a few standouts that you can tell right away that this person/team has the critical problem-solving skills that will make them successful when they take their next step into the creative field. I was excited to see a few of these types of entries during my judging”

Work submitted to this year’s competition will be judged by our incredible jury who all started at the bottom and climbed the creative ladder. Each and every one of them were once students too, and some not so long ago. What that means is that they've been there. They've done group projects where they were the only ones doing anything, they've made fictional pitches for dream clients, they've pulled all-nighters (and probably still do), etc. These judges aren't your peers, but one day, they will be. So, make an amazing first impression and enter today.
