The most inclusive award for taught coursework in the UK relating to the past and future of valued places – The Institute of Historic Building Conservation’s (IHBC) 2014 Annual Gus Astley Student Award – GASA 2014 is still open for submissions, with a closing date of 31 July 2014 and an uplift in the award to £500.

If you lead, present or participate in taught courses or modules in any areas ranging from history, heritage skills and management, to planning, regeneration and design, please circulate this news across your student and training networks.

For a chance to win a £500 cash prize, applicants need only submit digital versions of work assessed on taught courses ending in July 2013 or 2014. Free places at the IHBC’s Annual School, valued at around £500, are also offered to the winner and any commended entrants so they can receive their prizes in person at the IHBC’s School dinner.  The 2015 School, when the awards will be presented, will take place in Norwich.

Eligible course work may deal with any aspect of places, buildings, features or areas that relates to conservation and the past or future of the built and historic environment.  Entries may cover history, heritage site management and planning, new architecture or investigative research. There are no restrictions on discipline, type of taught coursework, group numbers or age. The only requirements for eligibility are that the entry should represent a relevant and quality submission assessed as part of a UK taught course in the UK and completed in academic years ending July 2013 or 2014.  The entry (or an appropriate record of the entry if it is not in a digitised format) must be submitted using the IHBC’s online procedures, lined from the Award’s website.   Should the entry be selected for an award by the judge, the IHBC will require authentication by the relevant tutor.
