Annual Student Writer Competition Are you passionate about psychology? Fancy reaching 48,000 readers, and winning a great prize? This year we’re getting creative. You could write a ‘traditional’ article of up to 1800 words; a piece for one of the regular sections of The Psychologist; a blog entry or ‘tweet’; in fact, any writing which engages and informs. The goal is simply to unearth genuine new writing talent in psychology. Winners will have their articles published or work announced in The Psychologist, and will also get an expenses-paid trip to the Society’s Student Lectures or Annual Conference (UK travel, hotel and registration fee). 1. E-mail your work to psychologist@bps.org.uk to arrive no later than FRIDAY 29 JANUARY 2010 with the subject line ‘student writer entry’. 2. DO NOT give your name or any other personal details in the work itself or its file name – the judges will work blind. 3. In the body of the e-mail please list all of the following: your name, postal address, and personal telephone numbers; departmental address, name of head of department or supervisor; and word count (if applicable). See the July issue of The Psychologist for this year’s winners and the judges’ report. Also visit www.thepsychologist.org.uk and click on ‘Contribute’ for more information.
