Win a *free* trip to Ireland, get published in the process | UA 2016

[Joseph41]

My fellow Monashians, here’s what we’re going to do:

Step 1: Submit work to The Undergraduate Awards (UA) for no cost
Step 2: Wait
Step 3: Potentially get published in a prestigious journal and win a free trip to Ireland

It’s that simple! And we might even beat the University of Melbourne in the process.

You may have seen my post on UA here. But I figure that this is a great opportunity to represent Monash University and show pride in our wonderful institution. Last year, Monash hosted 14 Highly Commended entrants, but to my knowledge we have never hosted a winner. And that needs to change!

What is The Undergraduate Awards?

-   The world’s largest academic awards programme
-   Aims to celebrate high-achieving undergraduate students
-   A wonderful opportunity for all of us

How does it work?

-   You submit coursework (either from this semester or from previous years)
-   You can edit that coursework with your relevant lecturer/tutor
-   There are 25 categories to which you can submit

Why should you bother submitting?

-   The recognition: publication in The Undergraduate Journal, great for employment or further study opportunities
-   The network: Highly Commended entrants and Overall Winners become part of the UA Alumni Network
-   The Summit: a four-day event held in Dublin, Ireland. By initiation only (to Winners and the Highly Commended). This is all expenses paid for Overall Winners
-   To top it off, certificates and gold medals are also distributed
-   And it’s absolutely free and entirely easy!

I really can’t emphasise strongly enough how great an opportunity this is, and I really, really recommend anybody from Monash to send off some work (which, I will point out again, you have probably already done). You can register here (if you want to submit work but don’t want to do it right now). You can submit work here. You can see eligibility and the submission guidelines here.

Why not share this opportunity with your Monash peers? Let’s do this. Let’s represent Monash. Let’s get a Monash student to Ireland in 2016.

A random thought:

Submitting work to The Undergraduate Awards might actually benefit you in more ways than you think.

> Submit to UA
> Likely more prestige for Monash
> Your own degree is more favourably received
> Greater employment?
