Sponsor
MullenLowe is proud to continue our sponsorship of the Central Saint Martins’ annual degree shows by presenting the fifteenth edition of the MullenLowe NOVA Awards for Fresh Creative Talent.
In marking this milestone, we are proud to see that the awards have springboarded the careers of some of the most talented young prodigies in arts, design and invention across the globe.
As a global creative communications network, our partnership with Central Saint Martins helps us keep a grassroots connection to fresh creativity, fostered alongside one of the most prestigious arts institutions in the world. Bringing together disciplines and pushing the boundaries of technology, each of the students who participate reveal something new in response to the world around us.
From a pool of more than 1,000 students, only the six most imaginative projects will win. The talent and excellence showcased by NOVA prove that the future doesn’t just happen. It gets made.
