Undergraduate Innovation Awards

trophyUndergraduate students are invited to submit any computing project you completed during the academic year 2013-14, to compete for one of three Innovation Awards.

  • Best Creative Work (Art or Music)
  • Best Product Idea
  • Best Software

The Innovation Award is a cross-university challenge organised by Conrad Grant, President of Goldsmiths Student Union (2013-14).

The cash prizes will be awarded to successful exploitation of a unique idea from part of your studies at Goldsmiths this year. The shortlisting judges from the Department of Computing will be looking for technical creativity, emotional engagement and originality.
