CDA Winners will be announced on the Wall of Winners the day of STLP State.
Check to see if you're a STATE CHAMPION. Come to the 1pm (Eastern) CDA Awards Show in Rupp Arena to find out if you're a 1st or 2nd Place Champion (arrive by 12:45p).
If you're not at Rupp, watch the announcements live on KET via the Awards Show page. Good luck!
Student creations were submitted as part of CDA (Creative Digital Arts) in January.
Semi-finalists will be identified for each Digital Product category by judges.
Watch for the announcement of which products advance to CDA Semi-finalist stage.
All CDA judging of semi-finalists will occur ahead of State (through April until State).
Finalists (in no order) will be announced via the Wall of Winners the morning of State.
Champions will be celebrated in person on stage in Rupp Arena and webcast live via KET.
Creative Digital Arts (CDA) at State
CDA Semi-Finalists automatically advance to State—no extra registration needed.
Judges will score using the original URL from registration—don’t change it or risk a zero for “Access.”
Judging happens online throughout April, leading up to State.
Attendance is not required for CDA participants, but STLP teams are encouraged to attend, explore, and join Challenges.
On State day, watch the STLP Wall of Winners to see if your entry is a Finalist (1st or 2nd Place).
Final results will be announced live on the Main Stage during the Digital Product Award Show—attend in person or watch live on KET.
CDA Semi-Finalists have 3 main ways to continue their participation at the State Championship.
Come to State, enjoy the day, check out the STLPx activities without joining other competitions.
Bring as many as you can, but sign up by 3/20/26
While your CDA is being scored for State, there are other competition areas students can sign up for (by 3/20/26) called Challenges.
You don't have to be at #STLP26 State in person to participate in the day. Award shows are live on KET and if you win, we'll get your award to you.
