Calling all students who love caffeine and creating

In collaboration with KeepCup, we have a special Earth Week competition running that puts your vision directly into the hands of your fellow students.

The Big Prize 🏆
  • A £100 KeepCup voucher
  • The first print edition of your KeepCup design
  • Your artwork printed on 16oz Original UAL KeepCups, launching in the College café where you'll be studying in September 2026
How to enter ✍️
  • Simply create a design on the KeepCup template, using colours from the UAL colour palette, and submit to us as a pdf. 

Whether you specialise in illustration, typography, patterns or abstract work, we want to see it! 

🔔 Looking for some inspiration? As your design is for a reusable cup, think about your coffee rituals, sustainability or just things that matter most to you – we want it to be expressive, bold and uniquely yours.
