Roulette 2025

8 statements.
8 studios.
8 internships.

One roulette wheel.

Roulette is back for 2025! After the success of Roulette last year we are delighted to be working with eight 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 24 students to be showcased, with eight winning a four week paid internship in London or Leeds.

Spin the wheel, take a chance!

How it works

Eight studios have each created a starting statement, which eligible students are assigned at random with the help of a roulette wheel.

There are no rules.

Students can 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 knows which statement corresponds to which studio until the finalists are announced!

The prizes

24 finalists (three for each statement) will present to their studio for the chance to win a four week paid internship and their work showcased by The CDCT online and on social media, and by the studio on their socials.

Finalists receive mentoring/a portfolio review with their studio and are also showcased. Entries will be judged on the originality and strength of the idea, communication of the link between statement and project, and the quality of the final outcomes.

It costs £20 to enter, and your donation will help us support students through The CDCT Grants in 2026 and beyond.
