The Library Services has launched a new competition for all Westminster students to take part before Friday 8 July 2022. With works being carried out over the summer to improve the Cavendish Campus library, the team is looking for artwork to have on display at the new refreshed spaces.

Library competition flyer

There are six spaces available for artwork. The successful pieces will be chosen to be displayed around the library spaces based on the theme of subjects taught at Cavendish and LTS, the local campus area or anything else you feel would look good in these spaces. 

Each successful applicant will receive £50 voucher of your choice (either for Amazon or One4All).

The Judging panel will consist of Library staff members and Emma Stevenson, Assistant Technician.
