Looking to leave your mark on the city?

We're inviting all Hallam students to design a mural celebrating the LGBTQ+ community as part of our competition this Pride Month. We're looking for a bold, eye catching, colourful design that's visible and easily understandable from a distance.

Not got access to design software? As a student, you can access Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for free via Hallam's app store 'AppsAnywhere'.

The two winners will each receive a £200 commission for their work and will have their mural installed across campus - one at Owen Building and one at Heart of the Campus - where their work will be showcased to thousands of students, staff, visitors, members of the public, and prospective students.
