Creative Works Competition

We’re launching the Creative Works Competition — a space for students, researchers, and artists to explore how research can connect with people through creativity with a shared goal to advance a sustainable path. Open to graduate and undergraduate students across all areas of study. Works should center themes of interdisciplinary collaboration and the environment. Because research and its knowledge aren’t only found in labs or papers — it’s also felt, sung, drawn, imagined.

Ripple Effect: How can we connect research and everyday life through creativity? Create a piece that brings people together through knowledge.

We welcome visual art, poetry, short videos, infographics, graphical abstracts—any format that showcases knowledge into something people can feel, understand, or see in a new light and connect with it. Submit your work electronically to esesymposium@purdue.edu or in person on September 26th between 9:00 and 11:00 AM. in DLR 131. If you are displaying your work electronically, please bring your device and power cord. 

Prize for 1st place is $350, 2nd place is $250, and 3rd place is $100! If you complete a Graphical Abstract at the lunch and learn it can be presented during the Creative Works Competition.
