A prestigious award for your CV
Whatever you’re studying, digital skills can make you and your coursework stand out, and those skills are what can help you land your dream grad job. Share a piece of uni work that showcases your digital literacy excellence, then sit back and imagine what that prize money will look like in your bank account – and how this prestigious award will look on your CV.
This year, the Digital Edge Awards have two briefs – and two sets of prizes! We’re excited to see how every student uses Creative Cloud in their uni work. It doesn’t matter what course you’re studying!
Don’t worry if you’ve never used Creative Cloud before, the Digital Edge Awards are open to students from all backgrounds. To keep things fair, those studying art, design, and other creative courses – who are likely to be more familiar with these digital tools – will work to a different brief than those who are studying subjects less likely to work with Creative Cloud. This way, you’ll only be judged against those with a similar skillset.
Select your subject area to reveal your brief, and get going!
Your hard work will be judged by a professional panel of industry and Adobe experts.
This year’s judges will be revealed soon, but check out last year’s to get an idea of who could be looking at your work.
The content guru and YouTube star
The academic expert and Cambridge uni innovator
The creative pro and Adobe expert
The careers professional and regional Head of Social Impact at LinkedIn

Digital literacy can be applied to anything you do. It’s the power to use digital tools to solve problems, create innovative projects, and enhance communications to prepare for the evolving workplace. These are skills every new graduate needs to demonstrate to prospective employers.
Set yourself apart.
Showing how you can communicate complex ideas in a simple, creative and impactful way will give you an edge over your peers.
Fill the skills gap.
Creative problem-solving and the ability to collaborate effectively with others are soft skills many current graduates are lacking. They’re missing out because of it - so make sure you don’t!
Future-proof yourself.
With AI and automation predicted to replace around 80% of today’s jobs by 2037, you need to make sure you can do the things computers can’t – articulate ideas and be creative.
