Platform for the UK's largest student creative awards

Ongoing development of the digital platform for YCN, the UK's largest student creative awards programme. Built the submission system, judging workflow, portfolio showcases, and educational resources that connect thousands of emerging creatives with the industry each year.

The technical challenge is the awards cycle — a complex multi-stage workflow involving student submissions, brief creation, judging panels, and results publication, all running on tight deadlines with non-technical administrators managing the process.
