Design and Photography Competitions

Additional Navigation

Students in the Studio and Digital Arts Department are encouraged to enter into a variety of competitions and gallery exhibits. By competing in these competitions and exhibits, students have the opportunity to receive feedback from professionals, earn recognition and gain exposure, network with other students and professionals, as well boost their resumes. Our students have had great success in many of these competitions, such as the ADDYS, Adobe Design Achievement Awards, Young Ones Creative Brief, etc. We are excited to see our students continue to participate and be recognized for their excellent work! If you have any questions about the competitions, please email Professor O’Neal (bponeal@liberty.edu) for Design and Photography Competition questions.
