There’s nothing like the moment you accept your offer and realize you’re officially a Raven. And that feeling deserves to be shared! We’re inviting current Carleton undergraduate students to help create a growing collection of Instagram-ready posts that future Ravens can use to celebrate accepting their offer.
This is more than a design contest — it’s about passing on the Carleton energy!
What’s the idea?
We’re inviting you to showcase your creativity by submitting a design that could be featured as part of a growing acceptance tradition. We’re looking for creative, shareable, original Instagram grid designs that capture what it feels like to say yes to Carleton! Selected designs will be shared with incoming students so they can post them on their own social media and proudly say: “I chose Carleton!”
By contributing, you become part of a legacy that welcomes new students with pride, spirit and community. As an added bonus, there are prizes to be won! If your design is selected as a winner, we’ll give you a Tim Horton’s gift card so you can enjoy coffee on us.
What to submit
- An original square Instagram grid post (dimensions: 1080 x 1350 px) that future Ravens can use on social media to celebrate accepting their offer.
- The design should be easy for others to repost or share to their Instagram story.
- There’s no single “right” style — minimal, expressive, playful — it’s up to you!
- See full contest rules for more information and eligibility.
How to submit
Submit your design anytime between February 16 and March 15, 2026.
Choose from two quick and easy submission options!
- Send an email to admissions@carleton.ca that includes your full name and design (as an attachment).
- Send your design by direct message to our @carleton_future Instagram account.
We can’t wait to see what you create!
