BSU launches design competition to promote creativity with Adobe
Monday, 13 October, 2025Following on from its recent recognition as the UK’s only Adobe Creative Campus Innovator, Bath Spa University is continuing its commitment to engaging students with Adobe by launching a competition to create a new Adobe mascot.
The Adobe mascot competition will give students the opportunity to create a digital mascot to promote the University’s Adobe drop-in sessions. The mascot will be used on posters and digital signage around the University as well as social media. The winner will also receive a £50 gift card and, if they like, a shout out on social media.
Kobe Distin, Graduate Digital Fluency Engagement Officer at BSU said:
“The mascot can be anything the student wants. We want to encourage students to get creative with their submissions and highlight their creativity and design skills.”
Adobe drop-in sessions are a weekly student-run helpdesk, offering assistance with general enquiries on all Adobe products. They can help introduce students to Adobe products, give pointers on where to find training materials or ways to further learning. They are held in the University’s Adobe creative lab on Tuesdays from 2pm-4pm.
The competition runs from 13-17 October to coincide with Digital Fluency Week at BSU, featuring events in the University’s Commons building to help students explore various digital assets available to them. Students can submit their entries to Kobe via email.
The competition also shines a spotlight on BSU’s Adobe Creative Lab, which was opened in the University Library at Newton Park in November 2024. The Creative Lab is a flexible vibrant space where creativity can start, continue to grow and be shared by experts, physically or digitally, in the space.
Staff and students can unleash their imaginations and bring their ideas to life, whether it’s designing custom stickers, printing intricate 3D objects, exploring immersive 360° VR experiences, or producing professional-quality podcasts. With advanced Adobe software and intuitive tablet interfaces, users can draw, design, and print on various media, from iron-on transfers to photo paper and even CDs.
