Roulette 2024
10 statements.
10 studios.
10 internships.
One roulette wheel.
In 2024 we were delighted to be working with ten incredible studios and our six partner universities to celebrate excellence in graphic design.
Roulette is a competition with boundless scope for what can be created and opportunities for 30 students to be showcased, with 10 winning a four week paid internship in London, Manchester or Leeds.
Spin the wheel, take a chance!
How it worked
Ten studios each created a starting statement, which eligible students were assigned at random with the help of a roulette wheel.
There were no rules.
Students could take their statement in any way, for any audience, in any media — they just need to show the link to the original statement, however tenuous!
The catch
No one knew which statement corresponds to which studio until the finalists were announced!
The prizes
30 finalists (three for each statement) presented to their studio for the chance to win a four week paid internship and their work showcased by The CDCT online & at Celebrating Design 2024, and by the studio.
Finalists received mentoring, a portfolio review with their studio and were also showcased. The £20 entry fee helped us support students through The CDCT Grants in 2025 and beyond. Thanks to all that entered in 2024 and congratulations to our finalists, we are looking forward to launching Roulette 2025 with our partner universities soon.
