Competition Description

We’re looking for a creative student designer to collaborate with the UCL Banking Task Force (BTF) across Term 2 and Term 3. This is a paid creative opportunity focused on visual storytelling, digital design, and social media content.

Participants can submit their existing portfolio and design ideas — no new work is required to enter. The selected designer will receive £400 to support the development of visual assets including post templates, stories, slides, and digital graphics that help communicate student-led finance and social impact campaigns.

This opportunity is intended to support early-career creatives by providing real project experience, collaborative feedback, and exposure to live campaign work. Designers will work alongside a student-led team and gain experience building visual identity systems, adapting templates, and contributing to ongoing social media output.
