Here’s how you could WIN £9,250 in cash for a piece of uni work

The first term of uni is in full swing and so are the assignments and exams. Are you tired yet? Stressed? In need of a well-deserved reward? Of course you are! Adobe appreciates this, so they’re offering students a chance to win £9,250, i.e. a YEAR’S tuition fees. But wait – it doesn’t stop at £9k, they have a total of £24,500 in cash prizes on offer.

Adobe is offering over £9k in CASH to a student who sends them an impressive piece of work they’ve made using Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe is back with the Adobe Digital Edge Awards for a second year, and this time it’s bigger and better with double the number of prizes. Not only will two winners receive £9,250 cash, there will also be six runner ups who will win £1000 EACH.

If you’re thinking to yourself: “This sounds great but I don’t have time to create a whole new piece of work”, don’t panic because you have the choice to enter a piece of coursework you’ve ALREADY done.

YouTuber Max Fosh sums it up perfectly in this clip:

The brief:

To keep things fair, Adobe wants to ensure students with all levels of skill have a chance at winning some cash, so the brief you’re given depends on what you study. Those studying art, design and other creative courses – where you’re likely to be more familiar with Creative Cloud tools – will work to a different brief. This way, you’ll only be judged against those with a similar skillset.
