At Nottingham Academy, we are proud to encourage creativity and digital innovation through the Young Ideas: Digital Creatives Award. This half-termly competition is open to all students, offering them an opportunity to showcase their graphic design and digital artistry skills using any digital design software of their choice.

How It Works

Each half term, students will be given a unique design theme or challenge to inspire their work. Students can submit their creations in an editable format to the official competition mailbox: youngideas@nottinghamacademy.org.

Why Take Part?

• Enhance your creative and technical skills in digital design.

• Gain recognition for your work across the Academy.

• The winning entry each half term will earn an exciting prize—either a paid end-of-year trip or, for Year 11 students, a paid prom ticket.

• Develop an impressive portfolio of work for future studies or careers in digital media and design.

Submission Details

• Ensure your file is in an editable format (such as PSD, PPTX, or other compatible formats).

• Submit your work to youngideas@nottinghamacademy.org before the deadline.

• Stay tuned for updates on the next competition theme!

We look forward to seeing your creativity come to life! Let your Young Ideas shape the digital world!
