Central Saint Martins is proud to announce the nominees for the inaugural Re:Generating Creativity Graduate Awards 2026. Recognising outstanding work from this year's graduating students, the awards celebrate projects that engage with the shared challenges, communities and conversations shaping contemporary creative practice. Selected from nominations made by Course Leaders across the College, the awards highlight work that reflects the breadth, ambition and diversity of the CSM Shows 2026 cohort.
About the awards
This year marks a new chapter for graduate awards at Central Saint Martins. Following the conclusion of the externally sponsored NOVA Awards, the College has introduced the Re:Generating Creativity Graduate Awards, a new framework that brings together the values of the Graduate Award and the visibility and celebration that have long been associated with NOVA.
The awards are guided by five core principles:
- Addressing Shared Conditions
- Seeking Common Ground
- Life of the College as Material
- Practice in Every Space
- Deepening External Connections
-
'Pulau Pari Melawan' - M-Arch Architecture - Nasrul Hidayat
-
'When the Cloud Meets the Moon' - MA Narrative Environments - Tori Joy Pearl-Dowler
Congratulations to all the nominees!
The nominees work illustrates the collective coming-of-age of creatives living in the Anthropocene. Through a variety of media, material and methodologies, their work embodies common themes of identity, nature, consumption, tradition, religion, queerness, our connection and interdependence with one another and other life forms, the fragility and conversely, the power of the world we live in, and the transitioning of time.
