The Black Creatives Award by Royal Holloway University London
As Black History Month comes to an end, we are committed to continuing to spotlight and celebrate Black voices throughout the year, not just over the month of October.
With that in mind we are pleased to announce the launch of our latest project the ‘Black Creatives Award’ (BCA). The BCA is a creative competition for Black & Mixed Black heritage secondary school students. Students will create and submit original pieces of art, writing, photography, music & digital media relating to this year’s Black History Month theme: Time for Change - Action Not Words.
Submissions will centre young creatives perspectives on the change they want to see within the Black community, with a particular focus on actions that can be taken.
Submission information
Who can submit?
- Black & Mixed Black heritage
- Attending state funded secondary schools
- The competition is split into two age group categories:
- The KS3 category accepts submissions from Year 7, 8 & 9.
- The KS4/5 category accepts submissions from Year 10, 11, 12 & 13.
What can you submit?
Below is a summary of the different types of submissions students can make. The specific requirements for each can be found in the presentation under ‘Teacher Notes’ on our website.
