Awards
UCDA Design Awards
These annual awards honor the best work in educational design—in print, digital, illustration, photography, and student competitions. These coveted awards are judged by a hand-picked panel of peer jurors composed of designers, design educators, photographers, and illustrators working in or doing a significant portion of their work for educational institutions—they understand the environments in which you create.

Student Poster Design Initiative
One of the many potential desired outcomes of design can be to motivate or inspire. Student designers have the power to encourage viewers to move forward in their lives—toward big dreams and lifelong goals or by simply enjoying the beauty that surrounds us. (Photo by Tadson Bussey)
