The competition is open to current undergraduate and post graduate students in any faculty in Higher or Further Education, who are based in the UK or internationally.

3. Submission Format
Participants can submit their entries in various digital formats such as social media posts (e.g., X or Instagram), videos (e.g., YouTube, TikTok), podcasts (e.g. SoundCloud, Spotify) or any other suitable digital medium.
4. Submission Length
The maximum length of any submission is 15 minutes. Students should not see this as the aimed length of the submission, as often much shorter content has great impact.
