The Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2024, a nonprofit organisation created by Arts Thread, announces the 2024 winners, judged by 225 highly esteemed judges across all categories.
This is the 5th Anniversary of the show which saw over 5000 students, graduating this academic year, enter their work. Over the last 5 years, hundreds of graduates have gained employment or launched their own brands thanks to this unique initiative – making it officially the world’s only online showcase of graduating artists & designers worldwide. All winners will have their work showcased on both Arts Thread and Google Arts & Culture. The collaboration with Google Arts & Culture means that the graduates’ work will reach a further audience.
The winners will be rewarded with one year’s free subscription to the Arts Thread Foundry, a new initiative due to launch later this year, that helps the creator protect their intellectual property, trade and monetize their creativity using blockchain technology in a seamless and transparent way.
