Our latest competition gives Bristol research students the chance to win a free trip to the ‘Life Beyond the PhD’ conference — just for sharing a photo of their hobby.
The prize
The competition winner will receive a free place at this year’s ‘Life Beyond the PhD’ conference, which will be held from 13 to 17 August. Travel costs will also be covered.
Held at Cumberland Lodge, in the heart of Windsor Great Park, ‘Life Beyond the PhD’ is an annual celebration of postgraduate research culture in the UK.
The conference invites PhD students and early career researchers to share their experiences, take part in training, and explore the value of doctoral research in an inclusive and supportive environment.
How to enter the competition
To enter, just take a photo that illustrates one of your hobbies and share it in one of the following ways:
- as a comment on one of the Bristol Doctoral College’s #PGRpastimes Facebook posts
- as a tweet with the #PGRpastime or #PGRpastimes hashtag
- as an Instagram post with the #PGRpastime or #PGRpastimes hashtag
- in an email to doctoral-college@bristol.ac.uk.
Terms and conditions
The competition is open to current research students at the University of Bristol.
The closing date for entries is 5pm on Monday 25 June 2018.
The winner will be chosen at random. [Clarification, posted 25/6/18: As we will choose a winning individual rather than a winning entry, please note that submitting multiple photographs will not increase your chances of being selected.]
The winner must confirm that they accept the prize by 12pm on Wednesday 27 June 2018. If they are unable to do so, and alternative winner will be chosen at random.
Travel costs will be covered either through a transfer of funds or a reimbursement of expenses.
Entrants will be asked if their images can be used in a future Bristol Doctoral College blogpost.
