From using human hair waste to create personalised prostheses to heart-warming animations and culture-rich craftsmanship, these stand-out projects showcase the very best of emerging talent who are pushing the boundaries of creativity in response to the world around us. From 1,300 graduating students, 52 were nominated and just 14 have been selected by our panel of expert judges.

The judges have deliberated. The shortlist has been decided. Now it’s over to you!

We need your vote to decide who will be crowned the winner of the 2023 YourNOVA ‘People’s Choice’ Award! The winner of the award will receive a cash prize to continue developing their craft and earn global recognition. It only takes a minute, but your vote can advance the creative career of an emerging artist.

Voting is open until Friday 7th July, and all winners will be announced in a ceremony on Wednesday 12th July. Head over to the YourNOVA voting pages to see the artists works and cast your vote.
