Survey

Will you participate?

A creative competition is an exam that allows you to evaluate the applicant’s ability to creative activity in any area.

Future journalists write essays and articles, artists paint on canvas, actors demonstrate stage speech and acting skills, and vocalists sing passionately.

Unlike ZNO uniform standard There is no procedure for conducting and evaluation criteria for a creative competition. Programs and assignments are developed by teachers of the same educational institution, they conduct it, and they themselves consider appeals regarding the objectivity of evaluating applicants’ work.

The creative competition program consists of an explanatory note that describes in detail general provisions competition, requirements for the level of preparation of the applicant, description of the task, criteria for evaluating the work, list of recommended literature.

According to the rules, universities announce programs for creative competitions no later than four months before the start of their holding, so there is enough time to prepare.

Preparing for a creative competition

If you are preparing on your own, find and download the programs of creative competitions from previous years in advance, familiarize yourself with them, read the recommended literature, so to speak, go through the theoretical stage. When the university announces the program of the creative competition for the current year, you have four months for thorough practical preparation for the topics specified in the program.

You can study with a tutor to prepare for a creative competition, but only if you yourself cannot study the subject in your chosen field. educational institution no preparatory courses.

If the university has preparatory courses, definitely sign up and attend, they will not bring additional points (additional points are awarded for preparatory courses only for science, mathematics and engineering specialties), but these courses are taught by the same teachers who develop programs and assignments for the creative competition, and check the work of applicants.

On the one hand, this is an opportunity to “pull up” the level of knowledge to the required level, on the other hand, if you conscientiously attend and complete the course program, you are already “in” for the teacher (perhaps he will personally check your work!), He is interested in continuing to work with smart students , in this case, your talent will not go unnoticed, a high score is guaranteed.

For example, consider:

Creative competition for the Faculty of Journalism

This could be writing a journalistic piece based on the results of a press conference simulated for applicants.

Previously, the program of the creative competition contains a list of topics for the press conference, usually 15-20 topics. Please note that the program may contain indicative topics, i.e. They leave themselves room for “maneuver”; the topic in the exam may differ from those indicated in the program and you will not make any complaints.

Communication between applicants and participants (or a participant) in a conversation takes place for a certain time (the duration must be indicated in the competition program); during the process, the progress of the conversation, questions and answers can be recorded on paper; the use of recording equipment is prohibited.

Based on the collected materials, within one and a half to two hours, the applicant writes a journalistic work in an arbitrarily chosen genre of a given volume, usually up to two sheets of A4 paper.

Use printed sources of information: textbooks, reference books, etc. when writing written work is also prohibited.

A creative competition is a competition in the creative execution of a task. “Creative competition” also means that participants do not compete in “whatever” activities, but only in those that have a touch of creativity. The adjective “creative” here should be considered as “non-standard”, “original”, “unparalleled”. Creative competitions are not just entertainment, they help to reveal the creative potential of participants and reveal their hidden talents. Even coming up with such competitions and tasks for them is an exciting and creative process. I hope you enjoy my ideas and have a good time.

Good manners

Number of players: any. Props: pens, paper.

The players' task is to come up with various rules of "good behavior" that explain in detail what can and cannot be done at a party. A prerequisite is that these rules must be fun and original. As an example, here are comic tips on “How to behave at a holiday”:

To avoid being considered boring and uninteresting, laugh loudly all the time, and also participate in several conversations at the same time - in this case, you will definitely be noticed and remembered!
When putting treats on your plate, be sure to know your quota, otherwise you may inadvertently put less!
You can reach the dish you like in a very simple way - you just need to slightly pull the tablecloth towards you.
The most important rule: at the end of the holiday, persuade yourself to go home, even if you are overcome by a passionate desire to stay as a guest at least for another day...
If the owners glance suspiciously at the clock, sit quietly, but when they take the clock off the wall, shake it and bring it to their ear, then you can slowly get ready to go home.
A polite guest is not one who eats a lot, but one who does not notice that there is nothing left to eat.
How to cheer up other guests at a party? Shake the soda bottle several times and kindly offer water to your guests - a fountain of foam and enchanting emotions is guaranteed!
and so on.

The winner is the one who came up with the most interesting (cool, unusual) “rules”.

(IN real life It’s better not to follow these tips!…)

Comic message board

Advertisements these days are one of the main sources of information. As soon as a person has a need to buy or sell something, meet someone or go somewhere, he immediately places an ad in a newspaper or on the Internet. Writing a good ad is not easy because you need to convey a lot of information in just a few sentences. And the more unusual this information is, the more difficult it is to express it in a concise form. Try to make sure of this and compose the text of a comic ad...

about the sale of a collection of candy wrappers
about the loss of a box of matches
about renting out your balcony
about opening a magic items store
about selling a guide to taming naughty children
about the loss of conscience
about the exchange of rheumatism for radiculitis
about offering repair services for slippers
about hexing cockroaches
about enrollment in 2-week courses on “bewitching” men, etc.

It is desirable that the title itself be funny, for example: “I strike happiness and iron while it’s hot,” “I teach how to play on nerves.”

The winner is the one who makes the most intriguing, tempting and at the same time funny ad.

Prosecutor of the fairy kingdom

Number of players: any. Props: pre-prepared task cards, pens, paper.

As a rule, the prosecutor makes an accusatory speech, explaining to the court how dangerous the actions of the criminal are, what material and moral damage he has caused to others and society as a whole. Preparing an indictment is a labor-intensive creative process. Try to see this for yourself: imagine that you are the prosecutor of a fairy-tale kingdom and prepare an accusatory speech that could be delivered if a trial took place over some fairy-tale characters. Make accusations against...

Carlson - for living without registration
Emelya - for parasitism
Koshchei the Immortal - for the illegal abduction of beauties
Babu Yaga - for aggressive behavior
Karabas-Barabas - for exploitation of minors, etc.

Players are given a certain time to complete the task. The author of the most cheerful and convincing “indictment” wins.

Come up with a new road sign

It is difficult to imagine a modern city without road signs: warning, ordering, prohibiting, etc. Road signs inform about the condition of the road, help regulate traffic, and also warn about possible danger. And, although there are a lot of road signs, there are still situations that are not reflected in the “ABC of the Roads”. Help the traffic police: come up with and draw new road signs that may someday appear on our roads.

Options for tasks – invent and draw road sign, which means:

"Warning: Deaf Old Ladies"
"Caution: unpleasant odors"
"Warning: Drunk People"
"Caution: women of easy virtue"
“It is forbidden to argue with employees of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate” (“It is forbidden to give bribes to employees of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate”), etc.

Non-standard solution

To conduct this competition you need to prepare various items; It would be good to use them as prizes right away. For example: pencil, mirror, lighter, toothpicks, paper napkins, etc. All guests can participate in the competition. Their task is to come up with as many uses for each item as possible. You can think for up to 10 seconds. Those who fail are eliminated. The most persistent and savvy wins, and it is he who takes the item as a prize.

Funny adjectives

Participants are divided into small teams of 2-4 people. Each group receives the task of writing a story on some topic in 10-15 minutes (“How I rested,” “My personal life,” etc.), and empty spaces should be left in the story instead of adjectives.

Then the teams get together and take turns writing into their stories adjectives that are randomly told to them by representatives of other teams. It is desirable that the adjectives are funny and original.

Then the resulting stories are read out and the funniest “work” is determined.

An old fairy tale in a new way

You need to print out a small text of any fairy tale in advance - several copies (according to the number of expected commands).

Guests are divided into 2-4 small teams, and each team receives paper, a pen and a card with the text of the fairy tale. The players’ task is to “translate” the fairy tale into the language of modern youth slang. The team that comes up with the most interesting and funny fairy tale in a new way.

What kind of creative competition is this?

To enroll in the Faculty of Design, in addition to the Unified State Exam, you need to pass creative competition. It includes an interview and a review of your creative project. Depending on the chosen profile, the creative competition may differ in what creative project you imagine.
The minimum score is 60. If you score below, you will not be able to participate in the competition.

What kind of interview?

An interview is a dialogue between the applicant and admissions committee. You may be asked about authors, trends, movements of a certain era, for example, Antiquity or the Early or High Middle Ages. Applicants come across questions about trends from the 14th to 20th centuries. You will also be asked to characterize one of the eras. Be prepared that you may be asked additional questions.

So, what is this creative project?

A creative project is a series of your works (6–12) that reveals your potential. Work must correspond to the training profile. You can choose the topic yourself.

There are special evaluation criteria:

stylistic unity;
conceptual completeness of the series;
originality of the author's concept;
harmonious color and compositional solution;
clear presentation of the project.

What are some examples of creative projects?

If you choose the “Communication Design” profile, these can be a series of posters or covers, if “Animation” - a series of characters or frames for a cartoon.

How can you prepare for a creative competition?

1) If you decide to study design, you probably already have some work or sketches. Use them. Improve and practice.
2) Follow the news of the design world and be sure to try to understand art.
3) If you are a student in grades 10–11, sign up for preparatory courses. You will receive the necessary knowledge and advice for preparing your own project.
4) Well, if you live somewhere in Novosibirsk and there is no opportunity to come to classes at HSE, then study at an online school.
