Online Exhibition

The Show website was created for you to exhibit work online alongside your graduating peers. It’s a space to showcase your work and process for your community and potential employers.

All eligible students can participate (no application required), and will receive an invitation to their ECU e-mails to sign in to the website.

Students need to exhibit their works on The Show website in order to be eligible for Grad Awards.

Online Exhibition FAQs

Can I edit my Project Page once the The Show website is live to the public?

Yes, if you need to update your page after May 7 2025, you can edit your published Project Page. Make sure to click “Update” to save your changes. If for some reason you need to withdraw your project from The Show, click “Switch to Draft” and it will hide your Project Page from public view.

Note: The deadline for Grad Awards is April 28 2025, after which any changes you make may not be seen by the awards committee.

Can I add new Categories to describe my Project?

A: Categories are used to help visitors discover projects that share similar themes to yours, rather than completely describe each project. If you would like to request a new category, please contact us.

My work is already uploaded to another website. What should I do?

We understand you may have work already uploaded to an external website or service, that you cannot or do not wish to re-upload to your Project Page.

We recommend first checking if you can embed your onto your Project Page. See the Embedding Media section on this page for more info.

Otherwise, you can still add a link to your work! Use headings to introduce what you will be linking to, and including a preview image for visitors. Add the link to your external website using a Button block. See an example on the Sample Project with Design Focus.
