Trincomalee Campus Students Shine at Cre8X 2.0 National UI/UX Design Competition

Students from the 2021/2022 batch of Trincomalee Campus, Eastern University, had a wonderful opportunity to participate in Cre8X 2.0, the National UI/UX Design Competition organized by General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University (KDU). It was not just a design competition, but a creative journey that inspired students to think differently, work together, and push their design skills to new heights.

A total of 15 teams from Trincomalee Campus participated in the competition, representing the creativity and passion for design within our campus community. The challenge began with a three-day Mini Task, where participants had to create a complete UI concept using Figma. Those days were filled with brainstorming, collaboration, and problem-solving, teaching students how to make quick and confident design decisions under pressure.

After the initial rounds, two teams from Trincomalee Campus were selected among the top 8 teams for the Grand Finale, which was a proud achievement for our university. The finalists also attended a special design workshop organized by KDU, where industry experts shared valuable tips and insights that helped them refine their ideas and prepare for the final round.

The Grand Finale, held at the KDU premises, was an exciting and intense experience. Within just a few hours, the finalists had to come up with a fresh design solution, prepare presentation slides, and pitch their ideas to a panel of judges. It truly tested their creativity, time management, and teamwork.

Even though the top awards were not in our hands this time, what we gained was far greater. Students walked away with new design skills, a stronger creative mindset, and an experience that will continue to shape their journey ahead.

Participating in Cre8X 2.0 was truly a proud moment for the students of Trincomalee Campus, proving that with creativity, teamwork, and passion, they can take on any challenge and make their campus proud.
