UCL Letters 2023 Competition Winner

UCL sign in blue colour in front of the main quad. Congratulations to recent MFA graduate Yiwen Li, whose design for UCL's standalone large-scale letters was unveiled in front of the Portico on the Main Quad on 3 July. The UCL letters have increasingly become a part of the campus landscape and will remain in the Main Quad throughout the summer, providing a perfect photo opportunity for any visitors to the Bloomsbury campus. The competition for students at the Slade School of Fine Art was set up in recognition of the interest from students across the year and particularly during the graduation period to create memories of their time at UCL. They are also vital tools in signposting, with the letters acting as an "arrival point" to students and visitors on campus. The competition to design the letters, which was announced at the beginning of this year, was a collaborative project between UCL Campus Experience & Infrastructure (CE&I) team and the Slade. The project was facilitated by Sam Wilkinson, Head of Public Art, UCL, Slade's Jo Volley, Deputy Director (Projects), and Giles Corby.
