Judges
The UCDA Design Awards recognizes the best of the exceptional design work done to promote educational institutions — secondary, vocational, or higher education.
These coveted awards are judged by a hand-picked panel of peer jurors composed of designers, design educators, photographers, and illustrators working in or doing a significant portion of their work for educational institutions — they understand the environments in which you create.
A sincere thank you to the judges of the 2024 UCDA Design Awards!
