Live On Design Competition 2018

Your Thoughts on Organ Donation

Last updated 19 March 2025

Starting out as a pilot initiative, NOTU collaborated with schools offering Art Elective Programmes (AEP) and Enhanced Art Programmes (EAP). LODC was designed with the objective of providing a unique and tailored learning experience for partner schools, and serving as a platform for students to articulate their opinion on organ transplantation through art.

The theme for LODC 2018 was "Your Thoughts on Organ Donation" enabling participants to explore freely on ideation, allowing for varying interpretations of their personal thoughts on this emotive topic.

The judging panel for LODC 2018 consisted of: Ms Sally Kong (Assistant Director, Operations, NOTU), Ms Sabrina Long (Dean, School of Art and Design, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts) and Mr Francis Tan (Creative Director, Germs Digital).

Close to 200 artworks were received from schools and members of the public. Top 30 winners and their family members were invited to the awards ceremony held on 14 July 2018. Top 3 artworks were printed onto EZ link cards and distributed at NOTU's events. Just as EZ link cards enable people to travel from place to place, it is hoped that the knowledge of organ donation and transplantation travels widely.
