Opus Prize

Art, Poetry, and Creativity Invitation
Submissions

Inspired by the 2024 Opus Prize, the Santa Clara University community was invited to submit original works of art, music, and writing reflecting upon the many aspects of the Opus Prize, including this year's theme "Faith Makes Wonders Work," the values of the Opus Prize and/or the work, projects, or impact of the three Opus Prize finalists. Prizes were offered for student-submitted art, writing, or music entries that most convey the values or impact of the Opus Prize.

Congratulations to the winners,  featured below.
