Four trophies of various sizes

Awards

Students participating in the CREATE Conference have the opportunity to compete for cash prizes! 

Most awards are worth between $100-$500 each and 3 entries will receive the "VIU Blue Ribbon Award" which will include a $100 bonus. There will also be some VIU swag given out as well!

In general, if a category receives:

  • more than 10 entries it will be allocated a $250 cash award
  • less than 10 entries it will be allocated a $100 cash award

All awards are eligible to also receive the Blue Ribbon designation.

We thank CUPE 1858 for supporting a 2023 Blue Ribbon Award.

There will often be year-specific awards because every year there is a couple of projects that inspire us to no ends. We challenge you to be that inspiration.
