You can submit your design from Tuesday 1 July to Thursday 31 July, 2025.

About ‘Iconic UniMelb’

Your job is to illustrate the essence of campus life. What is the one thing that makes the University of Melbourne unique in your eyes? Is it a landmark, a favourite coffee spot, a building or a feeling of belonging? Your design should capture an aspect of the heart of your campus that feels truly iconic.  

Design tips

✔ Think vibrant! Stickers should be eye-catching.

✔ Keep it bold and simple – a great sticker conveys one strong idea.

✔ Make it uniquely UniMelb. Your design should be instantly recognisable as a part of one of the University of Melbourne’s seven campuses at Parkville, Southbank, Burnley, Dookie, Creswick, Werribee, Shepparton. 

Thought starters

• Is there a campus spot you always hang out at?
• What building, landmark, or feature stands out as ‘UniMelb’ to you?
• What moment or tradition defines your student experience?
• What little details make campus life special – is it the coffee, wildlife, a particular tree, or the atmosphere at a certain time of day?
