For the 2018 challenge, students were asked to create a scene to an industry brief, complete with a set of key assets. Unlike previous years, everyone was given creative control of the theme, style & story of their artwork, allowing more freedom of expression. As a result, we’ve ended up with an amazing range of submissions this year.

There’s the cinematic monochrome of Marcus Bowyer‘s noir-inspired 1950’s Detective Office and Benjamin Stefanyszyn‘s high-contrast War Room, heavily inspired by Dr Strangelove. We have narrative journeys in Joseph Bamber‘s Motel Christmas and Carlos Pardo de Pablo‘s Arthur, and disparate visions of the future in Dominic Sewell‘s Nature’s Ballroom and Jordan Holland‘s Sci-Fi Armory.

So much of this years work has been of such high standard that we don’t envy the task of our assessment team in creating a shortlist for the finals!

In total, 36 students submitted environment art projects across a range of themes and styles, with 27 in the Search For A Star tier and 9 in Sumo Digital Rising Star.
