UTU Awards is an annual inter-collegiate competition conducted by University of Teuku Umar (UTU), Aceh, Indonesia. UTU Awards is a fair competition for undergraduate students to showcase their creative ideas through projects, designs, and products of any disciplinary backgrounds. UTU Awards are great opportunities to get prestige from your ideas, feedback on your strategic plan, and exposure to the right audience. This is also great way to expand your network, acquire your talent, and gain feedback on your ideas.

The awards offer various opportunities for undergraduate students to win in a wide range of categories: Entrepreneurial Research, Business Plan, Innovative Product on Agro- and Marine Industry, Online Store Design and Startup. The main goal is to nurture the entrepreneurship principles into practice and sharpen the 21st century’s soft skills, which include analytical and creative thinking and problem-solving, complex communication, leadership and teamwork, digital and quantitative literacy, a global perspective, adaptability, initiative, and risk-taking, as well as integrity and ethical decision-making.

Every year we receive a large number of submissions from various universities. This year we invite teams from across Indonesia and the globe to compete in the 11th UTU Awards. The jury panel is composed of eminent faculty members from respective universities. They were selected by their expertise, experience, and commitment on the development of undergraduate students to hone the skills needed to advance from ideas to venture creations. We welcome submissions from various disciplinary backgrounds and diverse interests. Previous participants are also welcomed to submit their new and original works that have not been submitted to the UTU Awards.
