Enter the 2025 library student artwork competition and you could get A$1000!
The library on each of our campuses can be the place you work during a solid study session, hunt down that one book you were looking for, or meet up with fellow students for your group project. So we ask, what does the library mean to you?
The library artwork design competition is now open for all current Deakin students. We invite you to submit your own artwork or design, capturing the spirit of the library. If you win, you’ll receive an artist fee of A$1000 and your piece will be used across the library in 2025, including being printed on the OWeek library tote bags, notebooks, signage and more!
Your design could reflect:
- the role Deakin Library has played in your studies
- how you use libraries
- the way Deakin Library makes you feel.
Submit your entry and complete the entry form before the competition closes at 11.59pm (AEST) on Sunday 13 October 2024.
Last year’s winner
If you need some inspiration, here is last year’s winning artwork created by Masters of Teaching student, Gaby Niemeyer. ‘Libraries are where miracles happen,’ shared Gaby, ‘I created an illustration that provides energy, colour and maximalist symbology reminiscent of the library and its connection to study’.
