Celebrating emerging talent from UAL

The Creative Transformation Award

Virtual exhibition

Discover the finalists and winners of The Creative Transformation Award 2026.

This virtual exhibition brings together some of the most exciting emerging talent across fashion, communication, art, design and material practice. All the work is from UAL Showcase highlighting graduates whose ideas respond to the world around them in original and inspiring ways.

A new way to experience graduate work

Multidisciplinary artist and art director Michael Gossage created the exhibition, which offers an immersive digital experience beyond the traditional gallery format.

Live event at The Chancery Rosewood

Finalists are celebrated at a live event in June 2026, hosted at The Chancery Rosewood. During the event, guests can experience the exhibition throughout the hotel as part of its wider cultural programme.

The virtual exhibition and live event create space for students, graduates and industry to connect and build new opportunities.
