The BIG 2014 Image competition is an exciting new initiative the council are launching to engage new and existing members and supporters to come together and explore what postgraduate’ness is and what it might look like in visual form. Entries are invited in the form of drawings, photos, charts, scribbles and even cartoons. All entries must be in by THURSDAY 3rd JULY 2014.

Ben Massey, UKCGE Marketing and Liaison Officer said:

‘In the office we thought it would be an interesting way to engage various postgraduate communities with one and other across the UK and around the world. It’s also a great bit of fun!’

Entries will be judged by the four UKCGE Executive Officers and the winner will be announced at the Annual Conference Dinner in Dublin. The winning image will receive a £20 Amazon voucher and their winning image featured on the UKCGE website. All runner up images will be featured across the UKCGE social media accounts. Even though we invite entries from non-member institutions, unfortunately only entries from membership institutions will be eligible to receive the voucher if they were to win.

Entries can be made by the following methods:

1. Emailing your image to ukcge@ukcge.ac.uk with subject title ​‘The Big 2014 Image Competition’

2. Tweeting UKCGE (via @UKCGE) with the hashtag #postgrad’ness

3. Postal entries to: The BIG 2014 Image Competition, UKCGE Office, Lichfield Centre, The Friary, Lichfield, Staffs. WS13 6QG.
