The IHBC’s 2017 Gus Astley Student Award is open for entries, so if you have presented coursework on a taught course that you think merits wider recognition by us, be sure to submit it by 31 July, while awardees wil have a chance to receive their prizes at the IHBC’s Annual School in Belfast in June 2018.
For the 2017 Award, as ever, a cash prize of £500 is on offer to the winner, with smaller cash awards to any commended entries. These include the offer of free places at the IHBC’s 2018 Annual School, valued at around £500, allowing awardees to receive their prizes in person at the School Dinner in Belfast in June that year.
And if you want a taster of the 2018 School, why not book in on the 2017 School, coming up in Manchester, when it is launched. There will be bursaries available 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 2016 OR 31 July 2017.
- 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 possible 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.
