The Diversity Week design competition is open to current students and staff (except staff of the Office of Marketing and Communications and The Equity Office).

The winner will receive $1000 cash.

Design entries should link to this year’s Diversity Week theme, “In Others’ Shoes”. This theme encourages the University community to ‘walk in the shoes’ of someone from a different background, with alternate attributes, abilities, religious beliefs, from another culture, in an opposing gender or from a different generation.

A written rationale explaining the concepts behind your design is recommended. Designs may include typographic, illustrative, graphic, sculptural, and/or photographic elements. Entries need not be too literal, and submissions that are abstract in style will be welcomed. Please feel free to think outside the square.

Entries may be produced digitally or by hand, please refer to the following list to establish the best means for submitting your entry:

Digital:
–High-resolution image file (in jpeg, tiff or any Photoshop-supported file format). This can be provided either by email (if file size permits) or on CD or DVD, as per the instructions below. To allow for effective printing, it is recommended that the file should be at least 200 pixels/inch at A4 size. If you would prefer to send a lower resolution version in the first instance please acknowledge that if the entry is successful a higher resolution version will be sought.

– It is recommended that you do not submit any piece of original artwork directly, please photograph the artwork and either mail or email the image as per the instructions below. To allow for effective printing it is recommended that the file should be at least 200 pixels/inch at A4 size. If you would prefer to send a lower resolution version in the first instance please acknowledge that if the entry is successful a higher resolution version will be sought.
