A Digital Fine-Art & Frontend Creativity Challenge
Organised by: Alankaar — Fine Arts Forum, BBD University

Venue: BBD University, Lucknow
Duration: 6–7 Hours
Team Size: 1–2 Participants
Format: Single-Round On-Spot Creative Challenge
About the Event
Pixel Persona is an interdisciplinary creative challenge that brings together Fine Arts, Digital Design, UI/UX, Visual Storytelling and Frontend Development.
Participants will be given a theme and problem statement on the spot and will have to transform their interpretation into an engaging digital experience using their creativity, design thinking and frontend skills.
This is not just about writing code — it is about how you think, how you create and how you tell a story through pixels.
Theme — Beyond the Frame
Participants will explore the idea of going beyond conventional boundaries — physical, emotional, cultural, psychological, technological or imaginative.
Problem Statement:
"The world we experience is often limited by the frames we create. Break one such frame and express what lies beyond it through an interactive digital experience."
There is no single correct interpretation. Your concept, artistic direction and originality define your creation.
