Origins Creatives

Celebrating the next generation of UAL Awarding Body creatives.

UAL Awarding Body’s annual celebration of student achievement, Origins Creatives, is back for 2026!

Origins Creatives is an opportunity for students, teachers and families to come together and celebrate student creativity and hard work. It brings together student work from across the UAL subject areas of Art and Design, Fashion Business and Retail, Creative Media, Music Performance and Production, Performing Arts, Entry Level 3 in Art and Design and Performing Arts, Professional Diplomas, and the Extended Project Qualification.

This year, we are thrilled to announce that we are once again hosting the exhibition at the prestigious Mall Galleries in Central London, from 15–18 July 2026.

Submissions will open on Monday 18 May and close Friday 19 June, 2026. Keep an eye out as more information will be announced soon!
