About the event

The 2024 HBCU Design Challenge is not only about enabling your students to showcase their design skills—it's an opportunity for them to make their mark, celebrate diversity, and contribute to meaningful storytelling through design. To participate in the Design Challenge, students must submit their design by April 21, 2024. Student submissions should reflect their unique perspective, creativity, and passion for design. The first and second place winner will be notified by Juneteenth, June 19, 2024.

The first place winner of the 2024 HBCU Design Challenge will receive the following:

  • $4,000 scholarship
  • All-expense paid two-day visit to the JCPenney home office in Texas to shadow members of the JCPenney design team
  • (7) 30-minute virtual mentoring sessions with JCPenney leaders to further develop your talent and prepare you for your professional ventures
  • The possibility for your design to be included in the 2025 Black History Month and/or Juneteenth JCPenney Hope & Wonder brand collections, sold in select JCPenney stores and online, with 100% of net profits benefiting a key nonprofit partner.

For more information on how students can submit their entry, the official rules of the challenge, and the second place prize winnings, please visit the 2024 HBCU Design Challenge webpage. We encourage you to share this opportunity with all of your students, both design and non-design students, as many may have a creative side.

Should you or your students have any questions or require further assistance, please email hbcudesignchallenge-sm@jcp.com.
