At UQ, we celebrate the diverse identities and experiences that make up our community. Art of Belonging invites all UQ students to creatively express what belonging means to them and how we can foster a more inclusive, welcoming environment for all. Whether you're an artist, photographer, digital designer or just enjoy creative expression, we invite you to submit a artwork for our first student competition and exhibition, hosted by Student Central.
Applications have now closed and People's Choice voting is live.
