WEP 2022 Poster Design Contest

23 March, 2021

KAUST wants to connect with creative people from in-Kingdom universities and the KAUST community to design the poster of one of its hallmark events, the Winter Enrichment Program (WEP). 

The two-week program, whose primary purpose is to enrich and inspire students and guests, will run from January 9 to 20, 2022 under the theme Resilience. The program's event poster and its branding are based on its theme and are used by KAUST and the Enrichment Office in all printed and digital communications and marketing collaterals. The winning design will connect with the WEP world and will be seen by more than one million viewers!

The winner will receive a 27‑inch Apple iMac and will be awarded a winning certificate, to be handed during WEP. Winning and pre-selected designs – which will be chosen by a judging panel - will be exhibited at KAUST.
