The closing date for the IHBC’s 2016 Gus Astley Student Awards is fast approaching, so if you have presented coursework on a taught course in the last two years that you think merits wider recognition by us, be sure to submit it by 31 July.
This year, as ever, a cash prize of £500 is on offer to the winner, with smaller awards to any commended entries, alongside free places at the IHBC’s 2017 Annual School, valued at around £500, so awardees can receive their prizes in person at the School Dinner in Manchester in June 2017.
And if you want a taster of the 2017 School, why not book in on the 2016 School, coming up in Worcester. There are even bursaries still available still for those on low wages.
Some details of the IHBC Student Awards
The Student Award is presented for an outstanding item of taught-coursework accepted as part of either under-graduate or post-graduate courses ending in the academic years either to 31 July 2015 OR 31 July 2016.
The subject should relate to one aspect or more of ‘Built or Historic Environment Conservation’ in its widest sense, including, for example, its evaluation (eg history, research or surveying), management (eg policy, finance, planning or operations such as site management), and/ or implementation (eg design, technology or architecture).
Submission for this award is ONLY available online, but if your coursework can’t be easily digitised, we’re happy to receive a suitable digital record of it, such as a film record, just as long as the record can be authenticated by your course tutor in accordance with our guidance.
