The creative challenge was organised by final year BSc (Hons) Sport Rehabilitation student Sara Shaikh, and comprised six categories including photography; pens, crayons and pencil art; sculptures; embroidery; paintings; and miscellaneous.

The winners in each category were: photography - Mel McCall; pens and pencils - Shirley Johnson; paintings - Rhiannon Fisher; miscellaneous - Sian Peters; embroidery - Bridget Cook; and sculpture - Katie Walker-Small.
