UCF Arts Innovation Competition: Showcase Your Inventions & Win Cash Prizes!
Create. Captivate. Elevate!
Overview
Join UCF's artistic and cultural innovation competition, where we challenge students to present projects that create aesthetic, social, and financial value from novel offerings in the arts, fashion, film, and other cultural industries.
What's Art Innovation?
Artistic and cultural innovations are provocative offerings that pioneer and nurture novel ideas and designs that challenge the status quo and enrich our shared human experience. It fuses imagination, tradition, and groundbreaking methods to produce expressions that resonate with contemporary audiences. For instance, a digital art installation might use augmented reality to let viewers "step into" a classic painting. A theatrical performance might seamlessly blend various cultural narratives to tell a universal story. In music, traditional instruments might be paired with digital soundscapes to create a fresh genre. This competition is a call for visionary artists and cultural enthusiasts committed to sculpting a vibrant, inclusive future. Students from ALL disciplines are encouraged to express their visions and talents in this showcase event.
However, innovations do not create value unless they can be shared with others. To realize the potential of your solution, you must also describe how you intend to deliver it to others, who you intend to deliver it to, and revenue you intend to earn to pay for creating and providing your solution. Artists and cultural innovators often earn revenue by selling or exhibiting their works, including paintings, sculptures, fashion, performances, and digital creations. They may also benefit from royalties, licensing agreements, workshops, crowdfunding campaigns, and collaborations with brands who sponsor their projects. Thus, this competition requires consideration of who solutions will be delivered to and how revenue needed to sustain those deliveries can be earned. Thus, in addition to describing a solution to a problem, this competition asks you to consider how you will provide that solution to those who would benefit from your creations.
